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

Bishop Immers wasn't enjoying this very much. He fully expected a warmer welcome from the lord, with hat-in-hand, and appealing for the Church's compassion and pecuniary assistance.


On cue, the man-at-arms swung open the heavy door, a less than subtle invitation for the two clerics to leave. Bishop Immers swallowed thickly and reluctantly eased himself down onto the uncomfortable hard seat. 


"I hope yer journey was without incident, Yer Grace?" Sir Hyde courteously enquired.


"Ah, nay. Although I admit I thought to be received with a little more cognizance, after all, I am a Bishop of the Church, do I need yer to be reminded?" He shook his head, his displeasure evident on his face.. 


Sir Hyde fought back another stab of shooting pain and ignored the rebuke. "Yer Grace, it uh, troubles me to bring this to yer attention, I'm sure ye have more important things to do like tend to the woeful and administer to yer various parishes."


Bishop Immers offered his first smile of the day.
