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

Odo stood and looked at the earthen mounds that covered the large pits where his precious herd was buried. It tore him apart, and he knew it was as tragic an event as anything he'd ever experienced. The pain was real and lasting. Unconsciously, his hand went to his head where he'd suffered the wound in his home the evening they'd culled and burned his herd. 


No one spoke; it was obvious to all how Odo felt, even to Jagger, who only now was fully appreciating Odo's loss.


Charlotte edged closer to Odo and linked arms, her presence offering comfort. Daniel stood a short distance away with Huntsman Seth and watched. 


With a heavy sigh, Odo looked up. He'd come to a decision, and would discuss it with Charlotte at first opportunity.  "Come, let us go to the mill and see how work progresses."
