Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Set in the 18th century, The Knights of Heliopolis follows Seventeen, a disciple nearing the end of his training within a secretive monastery in Northern Spain. This sanctuary harbours the immortal Knights of Heliopolis, alchemists bound by ancient codes. When Seventeen's master reveals his true heritage—as the concealed son of King Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette—the young heir faces a monumental choice: seize the throne or remain loyal to the timeless tenets of alchemy. Alejandro Jodorowsky masterfully transforms a famed French myth into a sweeping esoteric fable.

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.
