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

A price was agreed upon with Hilke and Charlotte counted out two pounds for the repairs. It was a lot of money, and she was understandably nervous. Hilke would receive half the amount for passage prior to sailing after the ship was repaired, minus the two pounds. He would need coin to provision his ship and the remainder when they departed Frisia for Exmouth. 


Hilke drained his tankard, slammed it down on the table and stood. "Wim!" The inn fell quiet as all patrons turned expectantly to the Frisian.


"Wy go, gather de manlju16!" yelled Hilke.


The man gave a toothless smile and began issuing instructions and half a dozen more men rose from their seats and began filing out.


Hilke looked at Odo. Maybe tomorrow on tide we leave, is good?"


"Bring horses at midday." His clay pipe bounced up and down as he spoke.


Odo, Charlotte and Jagger left Hilke to work on his boat and began to walk back to the inn.
