The small picturesque hamlet of Mellester in Devonshire, England, is home to herdsman, Godwin Read and his son, Odo. When the aging knight, Sir William Ainsley, Lord of Mellester Manor goes on a hunt for wild boar, the inexplicable happens, and Godwin makes a decision that will ultimately impact their lives and Mellester Manor for ever. 

Set during the tumultuous reign of King Henry II, in feudal England, the quiet and peace of Mellester Manor is shaken by the unexpected. For Odo, there is more at stake than just his dignity and pride because they’ve already been taken, all he has left is his life. Will Falls Ende see his downfall and disgrace and how far will one man go to protect what’s closest to his heart?

Falls Ende is more than a simple story, it’s a saga of survival against all the odds.

Charlotte stared at Odo. She couldn't believe he spoke this way. His passion and belief was so profound and unselfish, it made her feel ashamed. She'd previously thought of Oswald's gift and what it meant to her and Odo in terms of a fat purse and a financial reward. But here in this hall, in front of all these men, he thought not of himself, but for others.  She felt her eyes moisten as she proudly watched him.


Sir William cleared his throat and spoke softly. "May I see this gift, please?"
