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

Sir Hyde tried to stifle a laugh. He shook his head. "How is it, Baldric, that one rapacious man with so much power can cause so much misery to many?"


Steward Baldric rose from behind the desk. "Milord, ye must be careful, the bishop may be all ye say, but he is still a bishop."


"He can't go to the Pope, he can't do anything. By doing so draws attention to his own less than Christian deeds."


Bishop Immers was furious, and vowed he would never set foot on Ridgley Manor ever again. Consumed by rage, he set out to return to Exeter immediately but the thinly veiled threat by the lord was vacuous and had absolutely no effect on him. 


Chanse, Sir Hyde's trusted sergeant, loitered in Exeter near the cathedral and within sight of the abbey. He waited patiently for Abbot Andrew to make his way to the local inn where he would have his habitual and nightly tankard of mead.
