MYST'S HISTORY
The MYST series is the best selling computer game of all time. It started with MYST in 1993 and went on to sell more than any computer game has ever sold. In the following years the creators of the MYST series at CYAN would write a novel about the events preceding the game (The Book of Atrus). They would write another book about the events preceding the events of the first novel (The Book of Ti'ana. In 1997 Cyan made the sequal to MYST, RIVEN. It would become one of the best selling games of all time as well. Cyan made a third novel about the events after RIVEN (The Book of D'ni). Soon after a company called Presto Studios would get the rights to make the third installment of the MYST series called EXILE. It too would sell as well as the others.

The story is about a culture called the D'ni (pronounced Dunny) that live in a massive cavern deep below the surface of the Earth that have found a way to write in books and create a link to the place where they have written in the books. On the first page you'll find a glowing image of the place that was described in the book. When someone touches it, they are immediately linked to that spot.

Many people think they are creating the ages they write, but they are actually writing a link to another dimension to a place that already exists, has existed, or will exist.There are strict rules to follow when writing a Linking Book, and you'll see in the MYST series what happens when people abuse the power they believe that they own
