Paul W. Feenstra is a historical fiction novelist. Meticulously researched and detailed, his character driven novels create a dramatic window into our chronicled and complex past.

Created in a similar style as acclaimed authors Bernard Cornwell and Ken Follett, ‘Falls Ende – Primus’ is a fast-paced, emotional novel that will leave you breathless. 

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

On reaching Falls Ende, a portly man strode up to meet them. 


"Who are ye?" asked the bishop foregoing pleasantries. 


"Hale to ye, Yer Grace. I am Master Mason Mundy." He respectfully lowered his head. "And to what do we owe this unexpected pleasure-"


The bishop peered down his nose at the man. "I wish fer an update on yer progress here, make it quick, ye are taking valuable Church time." A cleric gently assisted the bishop down from the litter.


"I'm not here for a visit or to exchange banter, I wish to know the progress yer making," interrupted the bishop testily. 


Mundy cleared his throat. "If Yer Grace would like to come this way, I can show ye." He waved an arm and indicated the bishop should lead.
