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

An idea came to mind. He quickened the speed of his attack and with pure strength, forced the hapless knight to turn; now his back was to the water-filled canal that ran parallel to road. Step by step the knight was driven backwards. Each time he tried to twist away, Jagger countered and forced him closer to the water. 


The knight's face was twisted in agony. He was tired and weakening and the increased tempo of the strikes against him strengthened in power and speed. The giant was more than impressive, he was fearless and without weakness. The knight took another involuntary step backwards and his foot slipped on the edge of the road. The big man parried a weak lunge, and then pushed the knight. With arms windmilling and a loud cry, the knight fell backwards into the canal. 


Jagger stepped back and away, he took a deep breath and prepared himself for what was to come next. As expected, the other knight decided to challenge him.
