What this book is about
Set three thousand years before the Bartimaeus trilogy, this prequel follows the djinn Bartimaeus as he serves at the court of King Solomon, where a young girl named Asmira must steal Solomon's legendary ring. Stroud's trademark voice is perfectly suited to ancient Jerusalem and the novel works as both prequel and standalone.
