It is 950 B.C.E., and King Solomon rules Jerusalem with a steely hand; a hand on which gleams a magic ring of immense and unforgiving power. Solomon has just begun work on his marvelous temple, charging Khaba, a formidable magician in his royal court, to oversee its construction. The workforce is an ill-behaved bunch of demons, a particularly unruly djinni named Bartimaeus among them. True to form, Bartimaeus promptly gets kicked off the temple project and assigned the even more miserable task of hunting bandits in the desert. There he crosses paths with Asmira, a highly skilled and loyal captain of the Queen of Sheba’s guard, on a suicidal mission to save her country from Solomon’s imminent attack. Of course, Bartimaeus has no intention of helping her. That is, until Asmira makes him an offer he cannot refuse. . . . A spellbinding addition to Jonathan Stroud’s New York Times bestselling Bartimaeus audiobooks, The Ring of Solomon brims with dazzling wit, unforgettable characters, and powerful themes of freedom and slavery, with or without magical bonds.

Halli Sveinsson has grown up in the House of Svein, hearing the legends of the heroes as all his forefathers did.  Theirs is a peaceful society where the violence of the past has been outlawed and disputes are settled by the Council.   But young Halli has never quite seemed to fit in with the others. For starters, he is neither handsome nor tall, like his siblings.  He's stumpy and swarthy, with a quick mind and aptitude for getting in trouble. Bored with the everyday chores and shepherding, he can't help himself from playing practical jokes on everyone, from Eyjolf the old servant, to his brother and sister.  But when he plays a trick on Ragnar of the House of Hakonsson, he goes too far, setting in motion a chain of events that will forever alter his destiny.  Because of it, Halli will have to leave home and go on a hero's quest.  Along the way, he will encounter highway  robbers, terrifying monsters, and a girl who may be as fearless as he is.  In the end, he will discover the truth about the legends, his family, and himself. Jonathan Stroud's stunning novel is a funny and epic saga, as well as a surprising look at the real meaning of heroism.
