Bartimaeus: The Ring of Solomon (The Bartimaeus Sequence, 4)

By Jonathan Stroud

Book Overview

Bartimaeus, everyone's favorite (wise-cracking) djinni, is back in book four of this New York Times bestselling series that is perfect for fans of Artemis Fowl and Amari and the Night Brothers.

Thousands of years before his fateful service to the magician Nathaniel in London, wily Bartimaeus served as djinni to hundreds of masters, from Babylon and Ancient Egypt to the modern Middle East. Now fans can go back in time with the djinni, to Jerusalem and the court of King Solomon in 950 BCE. Only in this adventure, it seems the great Bartimaeus has finally met his match.

A spellbinding addition to Jonathan Stroud's beloved Bartimaeus series, The Ring of Solomon brims with dazzling wit, unforgettable characters, and powerful themes of freedom and slavery, with or without magical bonds.
