Development and Publication
Sparrowhawk was a story inspired by the dark-twisted earthy fashion of Alexander McQueen's Savage Beauty, a book dedicated to his couture works. In 2011, Dawson started writing a book in spirit of the collection, but later scrapped it. Later in Dawson's career, she found more inspiration for her main character in the likeness of Dido Elizabeth Belle.
