Myst: The Book of Atrus & Myst: The Book of D'ni
Young Adult Fantasy Portal Fantasy Science Fantasy Action-Adventure Mythic Fiction Mystery of Forgotten Civilizations Video Game Tie-In Literature Coming-of-Age Quest
Myst: The Book of Atrus & Myst: The Book of D’ni – the two canonical prequel novels that turned the legendary CD-ROM game into a living, breathing universe – arrive in one sturdy hard-cover bundle that collectors snap up fast. Penned by MYST co-creator Rand Miller with David Wingrove, these books reveal the hidden history of Atrus, his tormented grandfather Gehn, and the fallen D’ni civilization whose art of “Writing” entire worlds opens the gateway to every island, Age, and linking book players have explored since 1993. Action, antique lore, portal fantasy and young-adult coming-of-age themes blend into page-turning adventures that stand on their own even if you’ve never clicked a single Myst puzzle.
Book of Atrus drops readers into the volcanic cleft where the rebellious teen first uncovers his family’s earth-shattering secrets; Book of D’ni races ahead to Atrus’s desperate attempt to resurrect a lost culture from the rubble and find hope for a future. Together they answer the game’s biggest questions—Where did the linking books come from? Why is Atrus trapped in K’veer? What debt does he owe the vanished D’ni?—while expanding the canon with new Ages, fresh villains, and emotional stakes that feel both epic and intimate. First-edition hardcovers like these are prized because later print runs switched to paperback; owning the original boards keeps your set matching the deluxe aesthetic of the games themselves.
This ex-library duo is in very-good shape: pages are crisp, bright, and unmarked, with only the usual library stamps discreetly inside Book of D’ni—no exterior stickers or spine labels to mar the shelf presence. If you’re building a MYST display, filling gaps in a 1990s fantasy collection, or hunting the perfect gift for a gamer who already owns every Cyan soundtrack and art book, this matched set delivers the complete literary saga in the format fans crave most.
