Goodreads asked Saiswaroopa Iyer:

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

Saiswaroopa Iyer From the Bhagavata Purana which deals with the episode of Narakasura vadha. The episode also celebrates female valour and is very close to my heart. It also speaks about the social dynamics and the status of women in the days of Mahabharata. I took a lot of creative liberty by borrowing from various local legends and introducing new characters for the plot.
