From Ray Patino, author of The Soul King Trilogy, Dark Spaces Dark Corners Part 1 & 2, and the Coldness of Andreseries, comes his explosive eighth novel a brutal supernatural crime epic where mafia loyalty, spiritual warfare, fallen angels, and the end of reality collide.

In Coldness of Andre III, BlackStar, Florida becomes the center of a terrifying war. Owen Salvatore Garcia, Andre Colder, Smoke, Tiffany Elliot, Agent Vega, Chuck Fleck, Elie, Miguel, and the remaining Second Resistance are forced into a battle far greater than crime, revenge, or survival.
