Goodreads asked Devanye Hansen:

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

Devanye Hansen I was raised to believe in angels and demons and a spiritual war raging in the background of our lives, and that every decision is a battle. As an avid fantasy reader I did always wonder why there weren't more books about angels, and more specifically about Nephilim, the offspring of angels and mortal women in Genesis and Jubilees. These were recorded in Genesis as the "men of renown", arguably the ancient heroes and monsters of Gilgamesh, and it seemed there was an entire genre of paranormal romance and fantasy adventure missing.
I am also a huge fan of shifter romance, and thought it might be interesting to have mythological creatures, such as unicorns and pegasi, as the surviving decendants of the origninal generation of Nephilim. Angels and unicorns are both considered protectors of innocence, which seemed a logical starting point, and so Abednego's character was born and the rest followed.
