“A fair warning to everyone who just picked up this book -- —you're going to want to make sure your other responsibilities are completed because you won't be able to put this down. Be prepared for an entire book of twists and turns that I promise you won't see coming. Matt McGinnis perfectly paints the picture throughout the book and gives us a phenomenal look inside the minds of each Rodney brother. Some of my questions from the first book were answered while other questions have now taken their place. I have not finished a book so quickly before, but with every chapter ending on a cliff-hanger, it was impossible not to keep reading. So, sit back, relax, grab a snack and a beverage, and buckle up for this thrilling sequel of the Rodney brothers.”
Brett Boyle
“Matt McGinnis has done it again! He has given his readers a book about the power of brotherhood, the pursuit of the truth, and the devastation of revenge. Set in the elemental world of Roana, this thrilling adventure pits the Rodney brothers against their own community. After the devastating end of book one, the boys are forced to live in hiding as they come to understand why and how their family changed forever. Within the relative safety of their hideout, the boys devise an epic rescue and unknowingly set the stage for what was is to come. Some familiar characters are still around, but who can they trust? This enthralling mystery quickly carries readers through many landscapes and trying ordeals with unforeseen twists and emotional surprises. This is a book that I suspect will be enjoyed in one or two sittings, because once I started, I couldn’t put it down! I highly recommend it!”
Barb Foster
“The Rodney Brothers are back in a thrilling new sequel! This new adventure takes the brothers on a quest to locate their elusive fourth brother. Along the way, they learn important information regarding their family, and themselves, and learn the hard way that things aren't always what they appear to be. The Rodney Brothers must reconcile that the enemy within can be a formidable foe, and the most dangerous secrets may be those we keep from ourselves. McGinnis delivers yet another story that entangles mystery, secrets, magic, and a rollercoaster of suspense and surprises until the very last page (and beyond). I laughed, I cried, I can't wait for the next book. If you love a good adventure with a real heart, you'll be hooked on this story.”

About The Author

Born 1971 in Nantes, Samuel Roy spent all his youth on the remote island of La Réunion in the Indian Ocean, idyllic years under a permanent blue sky facing the horizon. He always kept his love for the tropics and a taste for change of scenery. Back in France, he graduated from the renowned École des Mines, and as a civil engineer spent most of his career abroad.

In a hectic life he never stopped exploring the world. He worked in Greece in a power plant, participated in archaeological excavations in the Mediterranean, lived among monks on the Syrian border, studied the ancient Ottoman in Turkey. Traveling further and further he discovered, often alone, Iran, India, China and Japan, demanding countries from which he returned each time amazed. His studies in America, his expeditions to the other side of the world, his knowledge of oriental languages, his eclectic friendships, all come to enrich his imagination and his project to write.

FAQ

1. What Inspired You to Write This Book?

I wrote this book because I love stories. The Harry Potter series is a favorite of mine, and its combination of creativity, magic, and suspense was inspiring to me. I find being immersed in a story and invested in what’s to come very exciting, so I wanted to create something that would allow readers to do just that.

2. What will your readers gain from your book?

In addition to being entertained, I hope my readers will see characters in difficult circumstances and feel they’re not alone in their real-life struggles. I hope that my characters’ ability to find a way forward will inspire readers to look for silver linings and that their successes as a team and struggles when divided show readers the importance of togetherness.

3. What was your unique quotient for this project?

One thing that makes my story unique is the shift in perspective. Readers get to see the events of the book unfold through the eyes of a variety of characters. This provides readers with additional information and adds layers to the story. Readers get to know each character a little more while developing a more complete picture of what’s happening in the book.

4. How did becoming an author help in your brand/business?

Becoming an author has opened the door to new opportunities. It allowed me to express my creativity in a way that helped me connect with different people and be a part of a new community. Through social media, in-person events, and more, I’ve had the chance to meet new people, share new experiences, and even support other authors in their journeys to become published.

5. What are your future plans as an author?

Moving forward, I will continue writing The Rodney Brothers series. I have a lot more of this story to give, and I’m excited to see my first two books continue to evolve.
