The reason behind the whole Battle Armour cover is to show the two sides of surviving trauma: the armour you build to protect yourself and the soft, living part of you that still wants to grow.
• The metal title and helmet represent the tough outer shell you create after years of pain, shame, and self-protection – the battle mode you live in just to get through each day.
• The cracked ground shows the damage and fractures that trauma leaves underneath that armour, even when everything looks solid on the surface.
• The dandelion growing from the cracks symbolises you choosing life after everything you have been through – the part of you that keeps pushing up through the brokenness.
• The seeds floating away suggest release: speaking the truth, letting go of secrets, and allowing parts of the old story to drift off so something new can begin.
So the cover is there to say that real battle armour is not just hardness; it is the courage to face the cracks, to let yourself be seen, and to grow anyway.
