Goodreads asked R.M. Taylor:

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

R.M. Taylor The character Lucrezia has been kicking about in my mind for years, to be honest, and she began to develop in response to other characters I imagined. When creating other characters I kept thinking back to her and thought Lucrezia would do it like that, or she would think this or say that. She kept popping up in my mind, and so I began toying with ideas of how to build a story for her. Aris came next, his story was inspired by the basic tenets of vampirism, the bloodlust, the intensity, the brooding. Then, his coven, and the story was patched together until I felt I had a good solid foundation to build the series on. I knew it would be a series, the characters deserve their own voice along the journey. Each book will blend the character's experiences and past with the present story, so each book continues where the last finished, but from the person's individual perspective.
