Choosing a name for my webcomic

I've been working on a fantasy webcomic for a while and still don't have a good name for it. Its original placeholder title was 'Chasing Shadows', but that's already been used by another (albeit discontinued) canvas webtoon.

I want to pick something that isn't too cliche, generic, or long/hard to spell. It'd be nice to have something unique and eye-catching, but I'd settle for anything that sounds decent.

Could I get some help? 😅

The genres are fantasy, action, and drama. Here's some snips of the art style, as well as the plot summary I intend to use when I post it on Webtoon- which I'd also like to get some feedback on. This is a little longer than the average webtoon comic summary, but covers the gist of what the story will be:

Spoiler

Kassia's race is bound by a bloodborne duty to fight and die for humanity as spirit hunters. Martyrdom is an honor, but when her overeager little sister enters the fray, she begins to have doubts. Especially when she discovers that the leaders they serve are not the noble heroes they claim to be. As the enemy gets stronger each day, Kassia’s people are divided by secrets and lies. In a world on the verge of apocalypse, how can she protect her loved ones when even they are not who they seem?

Some potential titles I brainstormed with my sister:
Guardians' Herald (3 votes so far)
Spirit Herald
Guardian Soul
The Shattering Veil (1 vote so far)
Spirits' Rift (1 vote so far)
Through the Broken Veil
The Herald's Soul
The Guardian's Soul

Her favorite is Guardians' Herald.

What do you think?

I like Guardian's Herald but I also like The Shattering Veil! I love your art style and the premise of the story-- I would totally read that!

I think Guardians' Herald is cool, but maybe something that involves spirits? Like Shattering Spirits or Broken Spirits? (Out of these three I think I like Broken Spirits the best.) Anyways, good luck with your webcomic!
