In 'The Ring of Solomon', young Asmira of Sheba has the important mission of stealing King Solomon's ring to free her people. However, the appearance of Bartimaeus in her path transforms this difficult task into an almost impossible mission. What is a genius like Bartimaeus doing as a slave? He used to be very powerful, but now he finds himself in the 10th century BC under the orders of Khaba, collecting artichokes and chopping ice for the king. Fortunately, he meets Asmira, a very skilled young woman with daggers, to whom the Queen of Sheba has entrusted a secret mission. Together, they could achieve great things.
