The title "The Shield and the Sword" could symbolize the two central characters, Cassandra and Caylus, representing the dual forces of protection and strength within the story. Here's how it breaks down:
1. Cassandra as the Sword: Cassandra, with her assassin skills, represents the offensive and aggressive side of the rebellion, the "sword." She is the one who fights directly, leading the charge in battle, making strategic strikes, and engaging in physical combat. Her role is to defeat enemies, lead offensives, and protect those she loves by destroying the forces that threaten them.
2. Caylus as the Shield: On the other hand, Caylus, though only 10, embodies the "shield." His role might be more symbolic as someone who, even in his youth, represents the hope, innocence, and the reason why Cassandra fights. He is the one who needs protecting, but also, as a mark-man, he has the ability to contribute in ways that act as a shield to their cause-perhaps through intelligence, stealth, or even strategic support from the sidelines.
In this dynamic, Cassandra is the protector and the warrior, fighting on the front lines with her sword, while Caylus, though young and innocent, is her heart and her shield, reminding her of why they continue to fight. Together, they form a complementary bond of strength, where one's role is to defend and the other's is to strike.
In this way, the title fits not just the physical roles but also the emotional and thematic weight of their relationship. Cassandra is the warrior who actively engages in battle, while Caylus is the symbol of the innocence and future they're fighting to protect, thus offering an emotional shield to her fierce nature.

White Rabbit
On the day that Clattonia lost it all, she became a monster -- at least, that's what the public calls those who are viewed as a threat due to having supernatural powers. Now, never trusting and pushed over the edge, seventeen year old Clattonia Cessair has become a fearless leader for those who want to rebel against White Rabbit, a government organization that kills "monsters" and protects the public, whether they were actually causing a problem or not. Jace Athens is the son of Daylen Athens, who became a famous and productive leader of White Rabbit after his wife was murdered by a "monster" when Jace was only five. Jace was raised to be caring, protective, fearless, and always willing to aid others, and although he was raised in a household that hates the so called monsters, he could never bring himself to hate them -- something deep inside him just couldn't. However, it wasn't like he was best friends with any either. But things just might change... Essence Kaori has always been shy, but the fact that she's been a "monster" since she was a child doesn't help her case. Not wanting to cause harm to anyone, Essence has always been known as a friendly girl once people got past her shyness. However, ever since she could remember, she's been hiding from White Rabbit. Reece Maverick -- smart, tactical, protective, oh, and a "monster" too. Reece is Clattonia's childhood friend and a leader of another group fighting against White Rabbit. Clattonia and Reece often work together and make a flawless team, but more and more people with supernatural powers have been getting killed by White Rabbit, making things even more risky than before. Just remember -- this is a world where the real darkness is not so clearly defined.Concluida
Discovering Shadows (Completed)
I have restarted this book. I wanted to make it easier to read and more enjoyable. I hope to make shorter chapters and update frequently. :) In the beginning Sylar has no name. No one cares. She's just another kid to fall into a system because she was an unwanted mess. A child that doesn't talk? Yea, no one care about that either. A shady group home filled with bullies and secrets? Yea, you guessed NO ONE CARES! To find friends in a place like this is unlikely. This place is built to feed off the fears of kids and their lack of parental role models. No one holds on to dreams for long in a place like this. You get placed here and you are as good as forgotten. Except when a couple shows up looking as out of place as an astronaut in a gold mine or a miner in space whichever one you prefer. This couple comes and shakes things up. Good or Bad has yet to be decided...only someone's bound to get hurt, someone's bound to be broken. The only question is will the wounds heal or fester and kill?Concluida

But everything changes when a cursed mark - the Bloodmark - burns itself into her skin during a mission gone wrong. It's a symbol of power, of destiny, and of death - a mark that hasn't been seen in centuries. A curse that if found by anyone would end with her death.

However, it is also said that the power is enough to make one explode, die. Now hunted by forces she doesn't understand, Syerin is dragged to Ironspire, a fortress where the Ascension Trials unfolds.

That there is something coursing in his veins that isn't just blood. Drawn to him in a way, Syerin can't understand, will the trials be her end? Or will the war that she fights against her feelings do it for her? Allies become enemies, love and betrayal blur into one, and the mark's power begins to consume her. To survive, Syerin must decide: Will she embrace the curse that could save Velthar or destroy it?Concluida

He's a false god with a stolen throne, and now, he wants more: to shatter the divine order and replace it with one of his own. To do it, he needs Syerin's mark. Her blood. Her death. But Syerin is no longer just the key. She's becoming something else entirely. To stop him, she must reunite the broken gods, close the gate she tore open, and confront the power rising inside her. But when the only person who truly understands her darkness-Riven Knox, marked by the God of Death-comes back into her life, the lines between love and destruction begin to blur. The gods are watching. Varethin is rising. And this time, divinity may not survive her.
