With the games, there were three novels written along the way to compliment the story. The events take place in this order: Book of Ti'Ana, Book of Atrus, Myst, Riven, Book of D'ni

Myst: The Book of Atrus (1995) Follows Atrus, his early youth with his grandmother Ti'ana, meeting his father Gehn, his study of the Art, and the events that lead up to where he meets his wife, Catherine in Riven and their journey to the island of Myst.

Myst: The Book of Ti'Ana (1996) Set before the events of the first book, we learn about the origins of Atrus's family, his grandfather Aitrus with his parents Kahlis and Tasera, and Aitrus's meeting and marrying Ti'ana and raising their son Gehn.
