Princess Elena's journey began long ago when her parents
and kingdom were taken from her by the evil sorceress, Shuriki. Elena
bravely faced the sorceress to protect her little sister, Princess
Isabel, and grandparents but in the process, her magical amulet pulled
her inside its enchanted jewel, saving her life but imprisoning her at
the same time. Decades later, Princess Sofia of Enchancia discovers the
truth about the amulet she has worn since joining her royal family and
sets out to restore Elena to her human form and help her return to the
kingdom of Avalor.
While Elena is the rightful heir to the throne, she is
only age 16 so she will rule Avalor with the help of a Grand Council
comprised of her Grandfather Tito, Grandmother Cici and Royal Advisor,
Duke Esteban.
With some magical friends by her side
