The Orphanage on Cheswick Court
Author: Haule Voss
In The Orphanage on Cheswick Court: The Hollowbloods, Haule Voss introduces readers to a richly imagined world where magic, destiny, and sacrifice intertwine. The story follows fifteen-year-old Thaddeus Volkameria, an orphan shaped by loss and raised by a pack of enchanted wolves—a premise that immediately sets this tale apart from typical fantasy origins.
From the very beginning, Voss captures the reader’s attention with the wild, untamed beauty of Thaddeus’s upbringing. When Thaddeus is summoned to the Enchanted Haven—a mysterious orphanage for children marked by dark magic—the novel shifts from a story of survival in the wilderness to one of discovery and transformation.
The Enchanted Haven itself is one of the book’s strongest settings: eerie yet inviting, steeped in secrets, and perched on the edge of a cursed forest. Voss’s world-building is filled with a gothic atmosphere and moral complexity. Every child who enters must give up a piece of themselves to gain entry—a haunting metaphor for the price of belonging and the loss of innocence.
