Goodreads asked Meghann Doyle:

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

Meghann Doyle I developed the idea for the "End's Shadow Caste" series over a number of years. I've always felt blessed, but more than a little uncomfortable by civil unrest and wars that take place in so many other places around the world, while we go to work and school, and live as though nothing's happening. I wanted to address those unsettled, guilty feelings. I wondered what would happen if the bottom fell out from under the first world. Where would that take the human race as a whole, if we were all very suddenly in the same boat.
