Goodreads asked Brian McLaughlin:

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

Brian McLaughlin Growing up I played A LOT of dungeons and dragons and during that time I was almost always the Dungeon Master, which meant I had to come up with the ideas for the adventures. 18 years after playing my last session, I decided I wanted to rekindle that passion, but had no players. So I decided to write a book. As for the concept, I started by creating the world map, and a basic premise, and to my great surprise the story began to take shape and direction.
