“The book provides a lot of background information on the D’ni and the characters of the games. The book’s main character is Atrus. The story begins with his birth and early youth, where he was raised by his grandmother Anna. When his father, Gehn, returns from his explorations in the D’ni Cavern, he enlists Atrus to come with him, and they journey down the Great Shaft, entering the fallen city. Gehn teaches Atrus the Art and shows him his Age 37, for Atrus’ investigative delight. Atrus writes his first Age, which he names Inception. Atrus is awed by the Ages at first, but he is horrified when he witnesses Gehn’s manipulation and later dismissal and disposal of the inhabitants of that age. He also comes to understand Gehns selfish, cold cruelty. Gehn destroys Inception because it does not follow Gehn’s style of writing. After attempting to escape his father, Atrus is forced by Gehn to be trapped in two worlds—a locked chamber in D’ni, and his Fifth Age, Riven. There Atrus meets and falls in love with Catherine, a Rivenese villager.

Crucially, the book introduces the fact that Gehn, like Veovis before him, is under the impression that the Writers of D’ni are able to forge their own universes, which erroneously gives them divine reign over the worlds they write, when in fact, they are merely creating links to pre-existing universes. This power struggle eventually leads Catherine to hatch a plan to trap Gehn on Riven. Towards the end of the book, the stage for the games is set: Gehn is trapped and Atrus and Catherine are free on the world that Ti’ana wrote for them, Myst. Atrus drops the Myst Linking Book into the fissure that drops before the player in the first area of the original MYST game, and the closing words of the book are also the voiceover from the opening cinematic.”
