Myst: The Book of Atrus invites you to traverse the veil of reality and delve into the ancient secrets of a long-forgotten civilization. Brought to life from the remnants of the D’ni, an incredible race with the ability to manifest worlds with mere words, this compelling narrative is the result of diligent research by Rand and Robyn Miller, creators of the globally acclaimed Myst game series, and renowned author David Wingrove. Journey through the labyrinth of Atrus’ life, a man irrevocably bound by the awe-inspiring artistry of the D’ni.

Brought into the world within the solitude of a remote crater, Atrus’ life is thrown into an unimaginable trajectory when he is swept up by his enigmatic father, Gehn. Gehn ushers Atrus into the spectacular secrets buried deep beneath the earth - the ruins and remnants of the D’ni civilization.

These ruins, testament to an ancient race with the astounding ability to actualize worlds through the act of writing, open a new reality to Atrus. As he plunges deeper into the echoing chambers of the D’ni craft, he finds himself ensnared in a complex game of power, deception, and the intoxicating allure of limitless knowledge. Will Atrus harness the D’ni’s formidable art without surrendering to its inherent dangers, or will he charter a unique course through the unfathomable maze of creation?Myst: The Book of Atrus extends an invitation to embark on a unique exploration of reality itself. Seamlessly intertwining elements of speculative fiction, philosophy, and richly detailed fantasy, this narrative reveals the very fabric of existence and the human condition. It delves into the core of creation, power, knowledge, and humanity’s insatiable quest for understanding.

Whether you are a seasoned Myst aficionado or a curious newcomer, Myst: The Book of Atrus offers a reading experience like no other. It immerses you in the starkly beautiful and uncanny worlds birthed by the D’ni, alongside compelling characters, each carrying stories as intricate as the world they inhabit.

Follow Atrus as he traverses mind-bending realities, encounters the myriad wonders of the D’ni craft, and uncovers truths that stretch the limits of comprehension. With each world explored, every secret unveiled, you’ll find yourself more deeply entangled in the enchanting enigma that is Myst.
