Books like Artemis Fowl. The Lost Colony by Eoin Colfer
After a devastating clash between fairies and humans for the mythical island of Ireland, the fairies retreated underground—except for the 8th Family, the demons. Using a time spell, the demons sent their colony into Limbo, where they have waited for decades plotting revenge. Now the spell is breaking; demons begin to materialize without warning on Earth. If humans discover their presence, the fairies risk exposure. To stay ahead, the fairies must predict each demon’s arrival by solving complex temporal equations—beyond even the famed scholar Foaly. Artemis Fowl, renowned for his cleverness, is called upon. He meets a bewildered demon in a Sicilian theater, but discovers he is not alone. A twelve‑year‑old prodigy has unlocked the secret mathematics of the fairy world, and Artemis must team up with her to avert disaster and protect both humans and fairies alike.
