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

It was quite dark with only a waning crescent moon overhead. Stars twinkled boldly, high above them like a canopy of suspended flickering candles in a near cloudless sky. Odo sat, leaning against a wooden gate with a blanket draped over his shoulders and Charlotte leaned against him, she also had a thick blanket covering her to ward off the chill and damp. Periodically they would walk the perimeter of the small field and then return to the gate where they talked quietly.


Odo knew Jagger was out there somewhere watching over them both, even after Odo insisted he remain on the boat. Jagger just shook his massive head defiantly and said nothing. The giant was completely selfless with his loyalty and dedication and Odo and Charlotte commented on this frequently. Unbidden, Cathal brought the subject up on more than one occasion and claimed Jagger was drawn to him like a moth to a flame, and nothing, no power on this earth, could prevent or stop it or him.
