THE KNIGHTS OF HELIOPOLIS: 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 join the 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?

The Knights of Heliopolis is available in bookstores and comics shops on April 13th 2021. You can pre-order now via Amazon and Forbidden Planet (UK & Europe) or via digital download.
