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

Like many knights who fought for King Henry II in France, Sir Jarin Babenberg was another wounded casualty. He suffered a severe gash in his side from a pike and was fortunate not to succumb to sepsis and die. When healthy enough to travel, Sir Jarin returned to his small fief on lands granted to him by Sir Hyde, not far from Mellester, to rest and recover. When summoned to fight for the king in Ireland, Sir Jarin was unable to heed the call, but eagerly hoped to join the king soon. 


Sir Dain still suffered from a wound he received while trying to rescue Charlotte and it was doubtful he would ever retain full use of his arm. Unable to lead the mission to retrieve the reeve himself, Sir Dain asked Sir Jarin if he was well enough to command a small group of men and return the severely injured reeve back to Mellester. He informed the young knight that there was a high probability they would be attacked by outlaws during their quest.
