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

Feeling more composed, he indicated for the Steward to take a seat. "I want ye to go to Mellester fer me and speak with Steward Alard. Tell him I want five of those damn cows and I will send Herdsman Searl and his apprentice to accompany Odo. Find out how much coin he wants and I will send a purse with Searl."


"Now then, talk with Steward Alard and find out all ye can on who was behind the plunder of Mellester. If Reeve Petrus can talk, ask him, who it was that tried to kill him."


 "Aye, Benedict, he'll know something. I want facts and details, not opinions unless they're supported by fidelity, understand?"


"I want ye back here in three days, before Master Odo leaves fer Frisia."


"Aye, then I want ye to invite Bishop Immers to Ridgley Manor, but he must not arrive here until Master Odo has already departed, perhaps the next day."
