The second book in international bestseller Eoin Colfer's hilarious spinoff series starring Artemis Fowl's younger brothers alongside a nefarious nobleman, a shadowy nun, a fairy intern, and a maverick troll.

* "Like its bestselling progenitors, a nonstop spinoff froth with high-tech, spectacular magic, and silly business."
―Kirkus (starred review)

After Artemis Fowl's younger brothers, Myles and Beckett, borrow the Fowl jet without permission and it ends up as a fireball over Florida, their parents lay down the law: no more off-island adventures, no more fairy-related antics. The twins must say good-bye to their pixie-elf ambassador, Lazuli, and even their AI minder, NANNI, is deactivated. But the twins' house arrest goes out the window immediately when Myles is abducted and spirited away from his brother.

While Myles puzzles over who is keeping him captive and why, Beckett and Lazuli take action to find him. In the process, Fowl and fairy are dragged through the mud, covered in spit, strangled by vines, and subject to some quite nasty dwarf sarcasm. Will Beckett be able to come up with a genius rescue plan without a genius on hand? And will Myles be able to figure out the bigger picture in time to rescue his rescuers?
