Artemis is a young criminal mastermind. His goal is to amass money so he can fund more expeditions to search for his disappeared father and just generally get the satisfaction of being smarter than everyone else. In book 1 his scam involves kidnapping a fairy cop and demand fairy gold for ransom. He ends upwinning that one. Fairies admit defeat begrudgingly.
In book two, it's shown the russian mob holds his father hostage. Meanwhile, fairy police is dealing with kobolds using ghetto lasers powered by human-made batteries and suspect Artemis. Artemis teams up with the fairies: he helps them find the battery supplier, they help him save his dad. In the end it's revealed some pissed off pixie mogul engineered the whole kobold thing to take over and she's incarcerated. Fairies help Artemis rescue his dad from the mob.
By book three, Artemis wants to do one final job before quitting crime. He creates a super device using stolen fairy tech and blackmails a mobster with a tech company for money in return for him not putting the tech on the market. The mobster instead steals the device. Artemis once again teams up with the fairies to steal it back. The fairies however are fed up with his shit and erase his memory of all stuff fairy.
Then there's like 6 more books and it's one giant hazy mess. Like, time travel, weird diseases that make one want to save the ecosystem, demons, clones, Artemis making out with a teenage version of the fairy cop he rescued, clones, that pissed off pixie from the second book returning as the villain like every other book, the sunken city of Atlantis, ritual cults that sacrifice endangered animals, a female rival child genius criminal mastermind, ancient angry spirits and the series ending with all human technology exploding which sucks for everyone except the Irish because they live so in tune with nature. And Artemis dies but they clone him back to life but he's basically a newborn without any memories.
