In 2094, the moon should be empty.
It isn't.
When two young Egyptian astronauts uncover a buried artifact marked 1837, they are pulled into a mystery that should not exist-one that reaches back to a forgotten nineteenth-century woman who made a choice that history never recorded.
What begins as an impossible discovery becomes something far more dangerous.
A message left across centuries.
A doorway that should have remained closed.
And a question no one is prepared to answer:
What does it mean to witness something without trying to own it?
As the truth unfolds, the astronauts find themselves caught between science and something stranger-an intelligence that does not think like we do, a past that refuses to stay buried, and a love story that was never meant to be understood.
Suspenseful, intimate, and quietly haunting, 1837: ARTIFACT is a literary sci-fi novel about time, grief, connection, and the fragile line between discovery and possession.
Some discoveries change history.
This one asks whether history should have been changed at all.
