Orphans of Chaos
''Orphans of Chaos'' is a 2005 science fiction, fantasy novel by John C. Wright. It is the first volume of the Orphans of Chaos trilogy that continues with the novels ''Fugitives of Chaos'' (2006) and ''Titans of Chaos'' (2007).
==Plot synopsis==
Five orphans - Victor, Amelia, Vanity, Colin, and Quentin (see Names and identities below)- who have spent their lives in a luxurious but strict and secretive British boarding school (Saint Dymphna's School and College for Destitute Children) begin to discover that they are different from the other children that they so rarely see.
Unlike the village children, the five orphans do not age. They can also manipulate their appearances. Throughout the book, they also come to discover that they possess unique paranormal abilities. Victor can control the molecular arrangement of matter. Amelia is a fourth-dimensional being. Vanity can find secret passageways. Colin is a psychic. Quentin is a warlock.
The five also discover that the patrons of the school along with their guardians and teachers are just as human as they themselves, which is not at all. The story largely concerns the main characters' investigations and discoveries about an otherworldly power struggle, and their place within it.
