''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.''

The Rithmatist takes place on an alternate Earth in which North America is composed entirely of islands. The islands were empty of human life when Europeans arrived, but they encountered dangerous "wild chalklings," two-dimensional creatures made of chalk. King Gregory III discovered the magic of [[Rithmatics]], performed by drawing specific shapes with chalk, and with this magic the colonists learned to defend themselves. Several hundred years later, the continued prosperity of the [[United Isles of America]] is bought with the efforts of Rithmatists who fight an ongoing battle to contain the chalklings (and other, more mysterious creatures) on the island of Nebrask.

[[Joel Saxon]], a non-[[Rithmatist|Rithmatic]] student at [[Armedius Academy]], living at the campus with his mother who is working as a cleaning lady. Joel's father was the academy's chalkmaker and died eight years ago by accident. Armedius Academy was one of eight Rithmatics schools in the [[United Isles of America]]. It's located in [[Jamestown]] on New Britannia.
 
   
  +
[[Joel Saxon]] is a student at the prestigious [[Armedius Academy]] in Jamestown, New Britannia. Though not a Rithmatist himself, he is obsessed with Rithmatics and studies the magic as much as he can. The poor son of the campus cleaning lady, Joel doesn’t fit in with the other students who are all either Rithmatists or children of privilege. Joel’s father Trent was the chalk maker for the academy, and shared Joel’s obsession with Rithmatics. Joel believes his father died in a rail accident, but it is implied that there is more to the story than he has been told.
−
Joel didn't become a Rithmatist but he fiercely whishes to be one as for Rithmatics were his greatest interest. On the other side there was [[Melody Muns]], who became a Rithmatist but was trying to get out of this responsibility. She was not good in Rithmatic lines and circles and therefore had to do a remedial tutelage with [[Fitch|Professor Fitch]] during summer holidays. Professor Fitch was challenged by a young professor, [[Andrew Nalizar|Professor Nalizar]], and lost that duel, so that Nalizar got the tenure of Professor Fitch, what left him without much work for the summer.
 
   
  +
Joel obtains permission to tutor under [[Fitch|Professor Fitch]] during the summer holidays. Professor Fitch is also tutoring [[Melody Muns]], a Rithmatic student struggling in her magical studies. When one of the school’s Rithmatics students disappears and evidence points to foul play by a Rithmatist, Fitch is assigned to help with the investigation. As more students disappear, first Joel then Melody are admitted into Fitch’s confidence to help track down the suspected kidnapper.
−
The Rithmatist is about the disappearance of Rithmatic students from Armedius Academy in Jamestown on New Britannia. When these disappearances begun, [[Thomas York|Principal York]] put Professor Fitch on the task to discover what happened. For his help, Principal York assigned him Joel. Other than Professor Fitch and Joel there was the [[Harding|federal inspector Harding]] who lead the investigations and secured the area of Armedius Academy as for the incidents all happened outside the academy. At all the crime scenes strange patterns were found. As for there were only four Rithmatic lines known, this new lines were extremely disturbing. Professor Fitch and Joel figured out that at least one of the two lines where Rithmatic, but weren't able to make replicas work. Joel thought that pattern felt familiar to him. When Joel reported to Principal York, he too felt that patterns familiar, what made Joel remember where he knew that new line from. After his father died, his mother and Joel left their old rooms but they were kept closed and unused all the time. Now Joel went there and found that line between the studies of his father along with other interesting things. But, again, they couldn't figure out what that line did. Aside from that, Joel and his mother went back to their old room. In this very night Joel was attacked by chalklings, the first non-Rithmatist-victim. When he tried to cry for help he found him impossible to do so. He also found that strange line near him, and figured out that it sucked in sound.
 
−
Joel managed to run from the chalklings, seeking shelter at the office. [[Exton L. Pratt|Exton]], the clerk and a cast off Rithmatist, helped Joel when he fell. Then Joel managed to escape to the gates of the academy where policeman waited.
 
−
After this incident the clerk Exton was arrested. Inspector Harding said he found evidences in Exton's desk, and even Professor Fitch seemed convinced. Joel, however, didn't believe that Exton was the perpetrator.
 
−
The next night Joel and Melody were confused because there were no police patrols. When they went to Melody's dormitory, they found the guarding police men unconscious on the ground. Joel sent Melody to look for help while he sneaked into the dorm. There he found Professor Nalizar and put him out of action, only to discover that not Nalizar was the culprit. With Melody returning and Professor Fitch catching up they could defeat the real culprit.
 
   
  +
Leading the investigation is [[Harding|Inspector Harding]], a non-Rithmatist formerly of the military police in Nebrask. He pushes for all Rithmatic students to be kept on campus for protection, and eventually all of the parents agree. Several odd symbols are found drawn in chalk at the crime scenes. Over the course of the investigation, Joel is able to confirm that these symbols are in fact new Rithmatic lines. Previously, only four types of lines were known in the magic of Rithmatics (See article on [[Rithmatics]]).
−
Finally that danger was defeated and normalcy came back to Armedius Academy, though still not everything is what it seems. The evil wasn't beaten yet.
 
   
  +
Joel’s own suspicions center on [[Andrew Nalizar|Professor Nalizar]], a self-important and condescending man recently arrived from Nebrask. Joel has a particular dislike of the professor, and discovers that he is researching new Rithmatic lines. When Joel shares his suspicions, however, the others each argue against him. They say that while Nalizar is not a likable person, he is an acclaimed war hero from Nebrask who has saved many lives.

The Rithmatist is a young adult novel by Brandon Sanderson published in May 2013 by Tor Books.[1] Although it was conceived as part of the cosmere, it was later moved out of that universe.[2] A sequel has been in the works since the book was published[3] but it has not been completed.[4]

Synopsis

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.
