The Book of Ti'ana (1996) by Rand Miller, Robyn Miller, and David Wingrove is the second novel of the Myst series, but chronologically comes first. Set in the fictional D'ni Universe based on the popular computer game Myst, Book of Ti'ana details the origins of Atrus's family. The book's story is also the basis for the forthcoming Myst movie, led by the Mysteria Film Group, LLC.[1].
[edit] Plot summary
The first part of the book focuses on life of Atrus' grandfather Aitrus with his parents Kahlis (D'ni: Kahlihs/[Kalis]) and Tasera (D'ni: Tasehrah/[Tæsera]), and then on Aitrus' meeting with Anna, re-named Ti'ana (D'ni word for 'story-teller'). The book also covers, unlike The Book of Atrus, the life of a D'ni noble, Aitrus, from his youth up to the point where he marries Ti'ana and has a child, Gehn (Atrus's father). Nearer to the end, what used to be a great friendship between Aitrus and a former friend (Veovis) eventually causes the destruction of the D'ni Empire.
