The Rithmatist
Brandon Sanderson
Fiction Sa566r
More than anything, Joel wants to be a Rithmatist. Chosen by the
Master in a mysterious inception ceremony, Rithmatists have the power to
infuse life into two-dimensional figures known as
Chalklings. Rithmatists are humanity’s only defense against the Wild
Chalklings—merciless creatures that leave mangled corpses in their wake.
Having nearly overrun the territory of Nebrask, the Wild Chalklings now
threaten all of the American Isles.
As the son of a lowly
chalkmaker at Armedius Academy, Joel can only watch as Rithmatist
students study the magical art that he would do anything to practice.
Then students start disappearing—kidnapped from their rooms at night,
leaving trails of blood. Assigned to help the professor who is
investigating the crimes, Joel and his friend Melody find themselves on
the trail of an unexpected discovery—one that will change Rithmatics—and
their world—forever.
