The Ring of Solomon is a prequel to the New York Times bestselling Bartimaeus series by Jonathan Stroud, author of Lockwood & Co. - a global No.1 show on Netflix.

**Note: There is a chance the book cover you receive may differ from the cover displayed here.**

It is 950 BC, and King Solomon rules Jerusalem with a steely hand on which gleams a mystic ring of immense and unforgiving power.

One of Solomon's magical slaves, the irrepressible djinni Bartimaeus, is stuck doing dead-end jobs for the king. But when Asmira, a young Sheban assassin, arrives to kill Solomon, steal the ring and save her country from his attack, she makes Bartimaeus an offer he can't refuse. If he helps her succeed, she will give him his freedom.

What could possibly go wrong?

Set in an alternate world controlled by magicians, this hilarious and electrifying bestseller will enthral readers of all ages.

As funny as ever. Stroud has lost none of his dazzle - Financial Times

Deservedly shortlisted for the Costa Prize - Sunday Times

Industry Reviews

Jonathan Stroud has created another winner in The Ring of Solomon, his latest Bartimaeus story. Wonderfully written and brilliantly plotted . . . Brilliant * Bookseller *
The voice is as funny as ever, but there are also passages of eerie beauty . . . Stroud has lost none of his dazzle -- Suzi Feay * Financial Times *
Wonderfully written and brilliantly plotted, this book provides an entertaining cast of characters and a satisfying denoument, with ends finally tied after many twists and turns. Bartimaeus himself is a brilliant creation, offering lots of comedy opportunities to the writer -- Marilyn Brocklehurst * The Bookseller *
May be the best one yet . . . Needless to say Bartimaeus is a tad resentful of the magicians and expresses his disgruntlement with wit, much sarcasm, and occasional magician-devouring -- Susan Goundrey Kruse * Stories from the Web *
