Since your book is about a young girl coming to understand the world they way it is (which sounds much like a coming-of-age story for a teen or pre-teen, or perhaps a coming-to-adulthood story for an MC in their 20's); I suggest you focus on a metaphor for learning or transition. The Twilight series is for a character metaphorically transitioning (from girl to a woman in love) and invokes a physical transition that was particularly apt for a vampire story.

Your story seems to be an education/transition story also (no problem, a million stories are, including my own). Key words are Understanding, Awakening, Education, Discovery, and so on. Seasonal transitions work, Springtime, Fall, Winter. Negative transitions: Destruction, War, Death. Positive transitions: Birth, Redemption.

Look for poetic and interesting words to talk about transition that also resonate with some element of your story. I am not making specific suggestions, this site is not for telling you what to write, but how to write. So there is a compass direction for you, a way to think about your series title.
