Background
In an interview with Chima, she said, "My earliest literary influence was my mother, a great lover of books and frequenter of libraries. In college, I majored in just about anything you can't make a living at, ending with a degree in philosophy. I was the poster child for No Vocational Outlet. Later I went back for a masters in nutrition and I have worked in that field ever since. I began writing romance novels in middle school." Michael Winship said," the book is filled with snippets of English and American history." She published three novels while working as a department head in a health care system. Chima based the town on Oberlin but set on Lake Erie. But the location has nothing to do with where the story ended up. She modeled the warrior battles off those of the gladiators.
