Set during the tumultuous reign of King Henry II, in feudal England, the quiet and peace of Mellester Manor is shaken by the unexpected.

Falls Ende is more than a simple story, it’s a saga of survival against all the odds.

Falls Ende

Steward Alard looked thoughtful. "And how does this affect Mellester?" He leaned forward and whispered so only the knight could hear. "The templars have been more than generous to him."


"We believe..." Sir Peter also lowered his voice. "that the Bishop of Exeter has a personal feud with Odo Read, and this has to stop."


Steward Alard looked worried. "Then he is in peril."


"We do not know fer sure, and hoped he'd returned from his venture to Friesland by now, and a villager told me he is still away."


"Aye, he hasn't come back yet, the lad is a worry."


The templar shifted position. "What I wish to know are details about Bishop Immers, what can ye tell me about this feud?"
