Die Ritter von Heliopolis. Band 3

A hidden monastery in northern Spain harbours a secret: its walls are home to the Order of the Knights of Heliopolis, a coven of immortal alchemists who pursue their studies in secret. At the end of the eighteenth century, student Seventeen undergoes a life and death test there in order to be accepted into the ranks of the Knights. But when his master reveals the secret of his origins to the other members of the order, Seventeen is faced with a difficult decision. For he is the legitimate son of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette: King Louis XVII of France. Will he choose the life of a knight of Heliopolis or try to take up his inheritance as ruler? The fate of Louis XVII, who allegedly died in prison at the age of just ten, is one of the great myths of France. With "The Knights of Heliopolis", Alexandro Jodorowsky congenially combines fact and fiction to create a historical-fantasy comic that is unrivalled. And no other illustrator than the young master Jérémy could capture the splendour of Versailles and the dark mysticism of secret temples equally well.
