The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson 378 pages
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.
