La esperadísima conclusión a las aventuras de Artemis Fowl, el único villano que cuenta con millones de lectores en todo el mundo. "Tengo a guerreros ancestrales sometidos a mi voluntad. Quiero que el mundo entero se arroje a mis pies y estoy dispuesta a arriesgarlo todo y a sacrificar a quien se oponga a mis deseos." Opal Koboi, la peor enemiga de Artemis Fowl, ha abierto la puerta de los Berserkers, un ejercito de guerreros magicos encerrados en las entrañas de la Tierra y sedientos de venganza.

Artemis se enfrenta a ellos contrarreloj, consciente de que su propia vida esta en peligro...

La sfida finale fra Artemis Fowl e l'arcinemica Opal Koboi e alle porte.

Dimesso dalla clinica, viene immediatamente coinvolto nel riscatto di Koboi insieme ai compagni di sempre: Spinella Tappo e Leale, e con il prezioso intervento del suoi fratellini gemelli, Myles e Beckett. La versione giovane di Opal, che ha seguito il capitano della polizia elfica Spinella Tappo nel suo viaggio nel tempo con l'intenzione di liberare la se stessa del presente, rischia di essere uccisa dagli gnomi Pip e Kip, con la possibilita di stravolgere la realta causando la morte non solo del proprio alter ego, ma anche di ogni altro essere vivente (umani e non).

Chi e Artemis Fowl? Un genio? Certo, visto che gioca con la tecnologia come altri giocherebbero con i soldatini. Un criminale? Indubbiamente, non a caso discende da un'illustre stirpe di malfattori. Ma Artemis e soprattutto colui che ha ideato il colpo piu audace di questo secolo: impadronirsi dell'oro che il Piccolo Popolo custodisce gelosamente da millenni. Questo, dunque, e il racconto della sua guerra privata con fate, folletti, gnomi e troll e, soprattutto, con la superpoliziotta elfica Spinella Tappo.
