Hair Color

In a world so divided, can two people so different really be united?

In Magonia people aren't divided because of skin color, but because of hair color. People with pure blonde hair are part of the government, and always considered to be the best of society. People with dirty blonde hair are just below the pure blondes. They were mostly teachers, scholars, scientists, and inventors. People with light brown hair do the normal jobs that have to be done, and people with really dark brown, almost black, hair, do the really gross jobs that no one else wants to do, and are always looked down upon. People with red, or orange hair are considered "irregularities" in the society, and are always shunned, and looked down upon. They're thrown out into the wild to survive on their own, when they're still just babies, but most people know that they actually just die right away, because they are only just babies, and can't survive on their own. Then there are the people with pure black hair. This almost never happens, but when it does, they were publicly executed, right after birth. They were considered a threat to society. They were thought to be rebels, and their parents would be shunned from society forever, but as we all know, sometimes things slip past the system.

Charlotte had pure blonde, the purest actually. She was destined to be the queen some day, as she was next in line for the throne.

Raven had pure black hair. He had been hidden at birth, and his parents lied, saying that it had been a miscarriage. Now he lived on his own, in all of the forests surrounding Magonia.

What will happen when their paths cross, unexpectedly?

Will raven get caught, or will this be the start of an uprising against the government?

(authors note: kings and queens by 30 seconds to mars is the "theme" song for this book.)
