Behold, thou art fair, my love: behold, thou art fair: thou hast doves' eyes...Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet... Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies. Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies... How fair and pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!"
- SONG OF SOLOMON
And Balkis was fair and pleasant for delights—Balkis, Queen of Sheba, queen of the land of pagan licentiousness dedicated to the worship of love.
More realistically than any before him, Gardner Fox has created the story of Solomon, the handsome, restless young king of Israel, who journeyed to Sheba and fell under the spell of Balkis, goddess of the cult of love.
History has told us how Solomon forgot his God in dreams of conquest and in the arms of the most sensual woman of the ages, and in this novel a talented author has brought history to vibrant, pulsing life.
