Artemis Fowl. The Lost Colony
Centuries ago, a great battle forced the fairy world underground, leaving one demon colony trapped in Limbo. Now, as their time spell unravels, these demons are returning to Earth, threatening to expose all magical creatures. The fairies turn to the brilliant young mastermind, Artemis Fowl, to decipher complex temporal equations and prevent catastrophe. However, Artemis soon discovers he's not the only genius who has cracked the secrets of the fairy world, facing an unexpected rival in a twelve-year-old girl.
The narrative and character relationships evolve significantly across the series, so reading the books in their original publication order is recommended to fully understand the history and development of the main cast.
The story introduces Minerva Paradizo, a young girl who possesses a level of intellect comparable to Artemis and is also actively tracking the existence of the fairy world.
