Un secondo giovane genio ha scoperto l'esistenza del Popolo: è una ragazzina, ed è decisa a catturarne un esemplare per porlo a studi scientifici. E non un esemplare qualsiasi! La nuova arrivata ha intenzione di catturare un demone, un membro .della specie più odia-umani fra quelle ignote all'uomo. Solo un incantesimo millenario separa la tribù demoniaca dal genere umano... e Artemis deve impedire che si dissolva. Se fallisse, demoni sanguinari sarebbero pronti a concludere la loro, antica missione: cancellare ogni umano dalla faccia del pianeta.

Il genio criminale di Artemis Fowl è tornato ed è più criminale che mai visto che, dopo l'ultima avventura, dalla sua mente è stato spazzato via ogni ricordo del Popolo. Anche Opal Koboi, però, è tornata: la perfida folletta che ha lasciato in prigione un suo clone e ora è libera e assetata di vendetta. Intanto lui, fuorilegge per tradizione familiare, sta preparando un colpo da maestro per rubare un famoso dipinto impressionista a una banca tedesca.

Stavolta Artemis Fowl ha combinato davvero un grosso guaio! La sua ultima invenzione, il Cubo, un minicomputer costruito usando la tecnologia fatata sottratta al Popolo e in grado di localizzarne il rifugio sotterraneo, è caduta nelle mani sbagliate. Quelle di Jon Spiro, un avido miliardario pronto a tutto pur di dominare il mondo. D'accordo, il Cubo è protetto dal Codice Eternità, impossibile da decifrare, almeno in teoria... ma in pratica?

Men nogle gange kommer livet i vejen - som for eksempel når Falske Far pludselig fordufter og efterlader en kæmpe gæld, eller når den korrupte landbetjent Regence Hooke får den idé, at Elodie er lige er hans "kinda gal".

Laying low in the bayou, this once-magnificent fire breather has been reduced to lighting Marlboros with nose sparks, swilling Absolut in a Flashdance T-shirt, and binging Netflix in a fishing shack.
