Baillie asked Caragh M. O'Brien:

Wait--Vault 2? Does that mean Vault of Dreamers wasn't a stand-alone?! O_o I was just about to ask about how you were inspired for the ending! Ah, well. I guess I can still ask in a new context. How did you determine that would be a good transition scene for the second one?

Caragh M. O'Brien Baillie ~ Without giving spoilers, I can say that I really liked coming up with the ending to The Vault of Dreamers, and I would be perfectly happy with how it stands even without another book coming along in the series. I knew it was the right transition scene into the next novel because I had a very clear idea early on of where Book 2 would go, and I wanted the possibilities to resonate. It felt a bit risky, I'll admit. But then, why play it safe? I have a lot of trust in my readers.
