Bleeding Orange

Bleeding Orange
A Novel by Sensei Joseph S. Gracia, Ph.D.

At the heart of South Texas, where orange sunsets meet the pulse of Friday night lights, a young quarterback named Austin Gracia stands on the edge of greatness. The undefeated season of the South Texas State Mustangs has made him a local legend, but fame has left his heart hollow.

Then one night at a small college bar, he hears a voice that changes everything. Freyja Magnússon, a foreign exchange student from Iceland and lead singer of the all-girl band The Valkyrie Vaqueras, sings with the power of an angel and the sorrow of a soul running out of time. Behind her beauty lies a secret illness that no doctor can explain and no medicine can cure.

When Austin discovers the truth, he turns to his parents, pioneers in holistic healing and energy medicine. Together they fight for Freyja’s life using light, frequency, and love itself as instruments of transformation. What follows is a story of courage, faith, and rebirth that transcends the boundaries of science and spirit.

As the Mustangs march toward the legendary Charro Beans Bowl, jealousy and destiny collide. At halftime, Freyja takes the field to perform her masterpiece love song Bleeding Orange before fifty thousand fans. Her voice ignites the night, her heart healed by the same love that once saved her. Austin kisses her beneath a storm of orange confetti before leading his team to one final miracle — a victory that crowns their love as legend.

Bleeding Orange is more than a romance. It is a hymn to the power of healing, faith, and fearless devotion. It will make you believe again in the kind of love that conquers death, unites souls, and lives forever.
