Synopsis
In Avalor, Crown Princess Elena presents the witch Shuriki's broken wand to her friend Naomi. She tells her how Princess Sofia saved her and the kingdom.
While attending school in Enchantia, Sofia sees a vision of Shuriki killing Elena's parents when her amulet summons her to the castle's secret library. The library turns a book into the wizard Alacazar, who explains how Elena originally possessed Sofia's amulet. It saved her life by pulling her inside when Shuriki killed her parents and attacked her. Alacazar searched for years for someone who could help him free Elena, eventually turning himself into a book in this library and placing the amulet in the castle to wait for someone. Sofia agrees to help him and convinces her family to spend their summer vacation in Avalor.
Upon arrival, Sofia is horrified to learn they will meet Shuriki as a formality and notices the cheering crowds are unhappy. Winged jaguars known as jaquins disrupt the welcome feast and agree to help Sofia after she explains her mission. They take her to Alacazar's old house to meet his wizard grandson Mateo. He summons Alacazar's spirit guide Zuzo, who tells Sofia to get Shuriki's wand, which she swipes during a dance. Warning her siblings to hide, Sofia meets Mateo and the jaquins at the Maruvian temple. She magically transforms into a mermaid and places her amulet and Shuriki's wand on an underwater statue, releasing Elena from Sofia's amulet. Against the group's objections, Elena insists on confronting Shuriki alone with the witch's wand.
At the palace, Elena confronts Shuriki in the throne room, revealing how Shuriki usurped the throne to Sofia's family. After a short fight, Shuriki overpowers Elena and retrieves her wand. She explains how Esteban is Elena's cousin, and Alacazar sealed Elena's sister and grandparents in a painting in the palace. Skylar rescues Elena while Shuriki throws Sofia's family into the dungeon. After regrouping at Alacazar's house, Sofia, Elena, and Mateo sneak back to the castle, recruit castle chief Armando, and free her family. Luna attacks Shuriki, distracting her for long enough for Mateo to sneak in and free Elena's family from the painting with magic. The group escapes and rallies the citizens of Avalor against Shuriki, overpowering the guards and storming the palace. Esteban steals Shuriki's wand and gives it to Elena, who snaps it, destroying the source of her power. With her magic lost, Shuriki ages rapidly and falls from the palace bridge to an uncertain fate.
Elena assumes her place as Crown Princess of Avalor and gifts her amulet to Sofia. Sofia reports her success to Alacazar in Enchantia, who gives her a new dress. In the present, Elena and Naomi decide to lock Shuriki's broken wand pieces in the treasury.
