Goodreads asked A.J. Tamko:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

A.J. Tamko Oh God. It's hard to say. I first came up with this idea 15 years ago. I do believe it was part Ursula K. LeGuin and part Robert Jordan that influenced the story in the beginning. But as the book evolved, I was influenced by a variety of sources, not excluding world events that were taking place at the time of my writing.
