He prayed for wisdom. Heaven gave him a weapon.
Jerusalem, 950 BC. As the stones rise for the Temple of the Lord, a demon is crippling Solomon's workmen - and no physician, priest, or guard can stop what they cannot see. Desperate, the young king prays night and day in the Temple until the archangel Michael descends with a gift: a Ring engraved with a five-pointed star, and a command never to take it off.
With the Ring, Solomon can summon, interrogate, and bind the demons afflicting his kingdom - Ornias the strangler, Asmodeus the destroyer, and five more of the seventy-two - and set them to labor on the Temple. But each demon he breaks open pours out forbidden knowledge of the world before the Flood, and with every seal he sets, Solomon's thirst to know more grows harder to control.
Told in Solomon's own voice, The Ring is Book I of the nine-volume King Solomon: Demon Hunter saga - a biblical epic of demon-hunting, buried history, and the price of knowing too much.
