This is more than a book; it's a portal into a rich tapestry of history, belief, and intrigue.

At the heart of the Kebra Nagast lies a remarkable tale—the story of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, a union that bridges two distant lands and brings forth a lineage that would shape the destiny of Ethiopia.
