Las Vegas has always been a city built on illusion. But beneath the neon and the noise, something far older moves through the shadows—patient, powerful, and watching. Dr. Draco Youngblood is, by every outward measure, a thirty-five-year-old billionaire philanthropist and the visionary behind the Draconian Casino Hotel. He is, by every inward truth, an ArcStrigoi who has walked the earth since long before the world had its current name. When he builds the Draconian, he is not merely opening a luxury hotel. He is choosing his ground. The Draconian becomes what Draco intended: a convergence point. An Ifrit agent from Interpol. A Cambion lawyer whose hunger has never been fully governed. A Lycan chief of security who has kept a century-long secret. A witch who hid her nature from the man she loves. A Wendigo art curator caught between two dangerous worlds. And somewhere beneath the Strip, a threat with its own theology—bodies drained of blood, a weapon that defies supernatural healing, and an ancient society moving through the shadows with a purpose no one has named yet. The Daywalkers are born in this crucible: a secret society of extraordinary beings bound not by species or power, but by a shared commitment to protect what the world doesn't know it needs protecting. Sin City Daywalkers: Eternal Passion Chronicles is the first volume of A.J. Moreno's dark fantasy series set in the Eternal Night Universe—where the supernatural is real, loyalty is the only currency that matters, and the line between salvation and ruin is thinner than the edge of a fang.
A.J. Moreno maps the fault lines between longing and ruin, delivering speculative fiction that is intellectually precise and morally unforgiving.
A.J. Moreno crafts fiction that moves like a current beneath the skin — deliberate, intelligent, and restless. Blending the speculative scale of science fiction with the intimate brutality of horror and the charged intimacy of erotic storytelling, his work interrogates the moral costs of ambition, the architecture of longing, and what it means to confront the unknown. Raised in California’s North Bay, Moreno brings a meticulous approach to research and a novelist’s ear for the unsettling detail. His prose is unsparing yet elegiac: characters are drawn with clarity, scenarios are built with technical exactness, and the emotional stakes are never theatrical. A collaborator and provocateur, he seeks out writers and projects that expand the limits of genre while demanding the reader’s full attention. If his stories do one thing consistently, it is this: they force you to see what you ignored yesterday and to reckon with what you’ll fear tomorrow.

The Elir predates every empire in the known galaxy. Born from conditions identical to the ones that produced the universe itself, it fuses permanently to neural matter at birth. No surgery separates host from particle. No technology stabilizes extraction. Every attempt on record has killed the host from inside out.
The Katar exist for one reason: ensure no single host accumulates five particles. Five is the documented threshold for a Pentamear convergence. The last one left a cosmological catastrophe still drifting through deep space. The Katar have kept that threshold theoretical for centuries by eliminating Elirian hosts before the count climbs.
Earth scientists called the particle TRACE 8489. It was the 8,489th simulation in which it persisted past three seconds. They logged it as an anomaly.
It wasn't an anomaly.
It was a host selecting itself.
The Katar have read the data. They know what the particle chose. They have one operational mandate.
Earth has never been on their route before.
