Rodney Brothers and the Four Fateful Names

Four months after unraveling a shocking family secret, the Rodney brothers—Ian, Vince, and Thomas—have gone underground. As they struggle to harness their newfound powers and stay out of the grips of Roana’s Executive Council, they begin a desperate hunt for the one person who holds the keys to their family’s future, facing hidden threats, unexpected allies, and relentless setbacks along the way. But when their mission takes a perilous turn, they’re forced to confront not only their enemies but the fateful bond that ties them together.

With a masked figure lurking in the shadows, now backed by a sinister army, the Rodney brothers must overcome an enemy more dangerous than they ever imagined. Will their fractured family survive the truth—or shatter to pieces in its wake?

In this high-stakes sequel, loyalty is tested, sacrifices are demanded, and a haunting question looms: will the Rodney brothers’ bonds be enough to keep them alive, or will the dark forces of Roana rip them apart?

Rodney Brothers and the Four Fateful Names

“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.”

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.
