Coming back to Destiny. Any story to catch up on? (Destiny)

So I've been completely out of the loop with Destiny for over the past year and now more than ever I'm willing to give this game another chance. I'm not worried about the gameplay, that's solid, but what I'm really worried about is the lore and the narratives. Reaching out to fans I constantly hear that with The Taken King Bungie has really honed their storytelling craft once again. I'm wondering, is there any ancillary material like in the Grimoire or anything else that I need to catch up on to get caught up on the series to date, or am I all set just playing the games in the coming collection?
