An Uncommon Blue
R. C. Hancock, 2014
In Télesphore, the glowing color of your palm determines your place in society, and shaking hands permanently mixes your shade. When 16-year-old Bruno accidentally kills a royal soldier, he goes from favored to fugitive. His only chance at survival is to become someone else. That means a haircut, change of wardrobe, and getting rid of his once cherished Blue. Now he’s visiting parts of town he never knew existed and making friends with people he would've crossed the street to avoid days ago. Luckily, Bruno’s parents have arranged a deal to clear his name and get his life back. All Bruno has to do is abandon his new friends and let an innocent boy die in his place.
