Bruised

by Mia Dalia
We Are Not Alone.
We have never been alone.

Ollie Dutton never stopped dreaming of space, even after a childhood brain injury robbed her of any chance to become an astronaut. 

When a dying billionaire offers her a life-changing amount of money to join a deep-sea expedition, she takes it, only to plunge into a nightmare. Nothing goes according to plan. Ollie finds herself trapped in an impossible place beneath the ocean, where something ancient lies waiting… 

Bruised is a riveting story about memory, loneliness, the power of connection, and hope amid tragedy. 

“A fascinating exploration of our relation to the alien.” – Adrian Tchaikovsky

“A novella that’s unafraid to think big, covering territory from Jules Verne to the life cycles of jellyfish, Mia Dalia’s Bruised takes wide-ranging, playful enjoyment in classic science fiction, the sea, and memory.” – Aliya Whiteley

“This science fiction gem takes us on an intimate, urgent journey from forgetting and isolation to shared discovery. Memories connect what lies outside and within. I was moved to reconsider the memories hidden by my own bruises.” – Sue Burke

“Dalia hits the mark with this moving story. Both human and alien are stranded physically and psychologically, and both need to connect with the other to find a way forward.” – David Walton.

“Deep in every sense of the word – there is a tender, hopeful, and deeply human core to Mia Dalia's Bruised, even as it whisks us into the depths of the ocean and presents us with cosmic, otherworldly creatures.” – Nate Ragolia
