Goodreads asked Michael Allen:

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

Michael Allen A writing prompt from Reddit along the lines of "A child unwittingly makes an offering to a long forgotten god, who then appears to defend them." I liked it as a starting point but the premise to me was that gods are given strength by belief of followers. If i used that as my one "given" for the world in the story, everything else flowed from there.
