Queen Sheba's Ring is an adventure novel by H. Rider Haggard. Set in central Africa, it showcases scheming priests, charming women, and daring British explorers. Excerpt: "This was what we saw: A great stone chair and, piled upon its seat and upon its base, human bones. Amongst these was a skull, and on it, grotesquely tilted, a crown of gold, while other ornaments—sceptres, rings, necklaces, weapons and armour—were mingled with the bones. Nor was this all, for in a wide circle round the chair were other skeletons, fifty or more of them, and amongst them the ornaments that their owners had worn."
