Evil pixie Opal Koboi is back and shes more dangerous than ever. This time she doesnt just want power over the fairy People - this time she wants the humans too. Captain Holly Short is the only fairy with a hope of stopping her but as Holly knows it takes one genius criminal mastermind to fight another. But the 14-year-old genius that Holly is thinking of doesnt even remember that fairies exist. How is she going to convince Artemis Fowl to help her stop Opal? Gold usually does the trick and this time is should be no different. Or is Artemis changing?
