Artemis Fowl è davvero un genio criminale? Sì, visto che a dodici anni è riuscito a impadronirsi dell'oro custodito dal Popolo delle creature fatate e a beffarsi della magia grazie al proprio stupefacente Q.I. Cinico, senza scrupoli e provvisto di una schiacciante superiorità intellettuale, Artemis ha tuttavia un punto debole: l'amore per la madre, che pretende di mandarlo a scuola come un moccioso qualunque, e per il padre, misteriosamente scomparso fra i ghiacci dell'Artico.

A complicare le cose, un nuovo "cattivo" ha deciso di mettergli i bastoni fra le ruote: è il fratello del defunto comandante Tubero che, dopo essere evaso dalla prigione Atlantidea dov'era rinchiuso, si mette all'opera per vendicarsi dei suoi antichi nemici.
