The next incredible graphic novel from acclaimed writer Jodorowsky

The 18th century. In a monastery in the North of Spain hides the sacred
temple of the Knights of Heliopolis: an assembly of immortal alchemists
cut off from the world. As disciple Seventeen prepares to complete his
training and integrate order, his master Fulcanelli reveals to the other
knights the terrible secret of his origins - Seventeen is actually the
hidden son of King Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette! Will the young heir
claim the throne or remain in the shadows, faithful to the millennial
precepts of Alchemy?
Based on one of the greatest myths in the history of France, a romantic
destiny that acclaimed writer Jodorowsky brilliantly rewrites as a grand
esoteric fable.
"No one alive today demonstrates artistic invention as powerfully as
Alejandro Jodorowsky." - NPR
