Rose Pharl has grown up knowing one fact. She is a six. She has six spheres under her eyes. The greatest honor in Amella, the society she lives in. The ones, twos, and threes are weak, the bottom of society. While the fours, fives, and sixes are the key to Amella’s success.

As a six, Rose will triumph on Counting Day, a celebration where top sphere holders are recognized. But when Rose is witness to unexplainable and mysterious events on Counting Day, her world shatters as she questions everything she has been taught throughout her life.

With the help of Jejune, Rose’s rebellious best friend, both embark on a suspenseful journey to find the truth. Join Rose as she uncovers hidden secrets and makes her own judgment on her society’s most controversial question: does crying really make you weak?

In doing so, grave discoveries come to light. As Rose unveils darker hidden secrets lying within Cali, she comes face to face with a cruel choice.

Will Rose put her own needs aside for friendship? Will Rose finally receive the answer to her life long question: does crying really make you weak? Join Rose on a new suspenseful journey as she fights to survive in an unknown and unforgiving new land.
