In The Rithmatist, Brandon Sanderson sets a young adult fantasy mystery in a steampunk-influenced version of the American Isles, where magic is drawn in chalk. Joel, a student at Armedius Academy and the son of the school’s chalkmaker, longs to join the elite Rithmatists who animate Chalklings and defend the realm from dangerous creatures massing near Nebrask. When Rithmatist students begin vanishing under violent circumstances, Joel is assigned to assist a professor investigating the attacks, working alongside his classmate Melody. As they follow the evidence, Joel uncovers hidden aspects of Rithmatics that challenge what the academy and the wider world believe about this magical art and its role in an ongoing war.
