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.

Falls Ende

It was a repeat of earlier, except only one prisoner was escorted into the room. Odo looked at Charlotte and smiled. She didn't feel his optimism. Someone must have sent word out because Sir Ector arrived moments before the bailiff. He looked around the room in consternation, but his sergeant had still not arrived. Steward Cederic and the cleric entered, followed by, much to both Charlotte and Odo's relief, a man-at-arms carrying the saddle. He placed it on a table in front of the steward and stepped back. More people filed into the room until it was almost full. Sergeant Jagger was not amongst them.


"Has anyone tampered with the saddle?" asked the steward, the mole on his face moving as if it were alive.


The bailiff and the man-at-arms shook their heads.


"Herdsman, would ye please retrieve the original document from where ye hid it?"
