The Fowl Twins opens the trilogy in 2019 at 432 pages, the longest of the three books, introducing Artemis Fowl's much younger brothers Myles and Beckett -- a fastidious genius and a chaotic, feral counterpart -- as a shapeshifting fugitive lands on the family's doorstep.

Alternative text for cover: Cover of The Fowl Twins Get What They DeserveMyles and Beckett Fowl are eleven-year-old twins -- and Artemis Fowl's much younger brothers -- who are almost comically mismatched: Myles is a fastidious, hyper-logical genius who wears a bow tie and speaks like a tiny professor, while Beckett is chaotic, feral, and communicates largely through sound effects. When the fairy world's magical convict escort goes wrong and dumps a dangerous shapeshifting fugitive on the Fowl family's doorstep, the twins are pulled into exactly the kind of fairy-adjacent crisis their older brother used to handle -- except without Artemis's criminal genius or LEPrecon backup to rely on.
Eoin Colfer returns to the Fowl family and fairy-world mythology he built across eight Artemis Fowl novels, but shifts the comic register: where Artemis was a scheming antihero slowly growing a conscience, Myles and Beckett are goofier, younger, and more openly a double act, closer to slapstick buddy comedy than heist thriller. The fairy politics, LEP operatives, and magical technology of the original series carry over, giving longtime fans a familiar world seen through a very different lens.
It's a natural next stop for Artemis Fowl readers who want more time in Colfer's fairy-world setting with a lighter, sillier tone and a new generation of Fowls at the center.
Three: The Fowl Twins (2019), The Fowl Twins Deny All Charges (2020), and The Fowl Twins Get What They Deserve (2021), a complete trilogy.
Publication order: The Fowl Twins, The Fowl Twins Deny All Charges, The Fowl Twins Get What They Deserve. It's one continuous story.
Not strictly, but it's recommended -- Myles and Beckett are Artemis Fowl's younger brothers, and the trilogy is set in the same fairy-world universe established across the main series.
Yes, it concludes with The Fowl Twins Get What They Deserve.
It's broader and sillier -- Myles's hyper-logical precision and Beckett's chaotic energy play as buddy-comedy slapstick, a lighter tone than Artemis's scheming antihero arc.
