Created in a similar style as acclaimed authors Bernard Cornwell and Ken Follett, ‘Falls Ende – Primus’ is a fast-paced, emotional novel that will leave you breathless. 

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

The Bishop waved his jewelled hand dismissively. "They are gone, and they have little interest in anything outside what fills their coffers. Ye won't hear from them again."


Abbott Andrew nodded in servile agreement and hoped the bishop was right. "But the herdsman, Yer Grace, I know the Church would benefit greatly if he succumbed to an unfortunate mischance."


"He has no guardians; this is the best time to deal with him." The Bishop offered the Abbott a smile.


"He and his woman were seen leaving Mellester over a week past, on horseback. They have yet to return, Yer Grace."


The Abbott looked at his master and waited.


"If the young imposter and his woman are on some journey, then it may serve the Church's interests if he never returned, what say ye, Andrew?"


"He rides that stallion, he wouldn't be difficult to recognise... could ye send a man out, find the herdsman and uh ... resolve our dilemma?"
