A messenger arrives in Bright Moon claiming to represent Queen Calypsa of Salineas. Adora knows something is wrong. Salineas belongs to Mermista, not some unknown queen. The messenger refuses to explain what happened to the sea princess, but Adora won't abandon her friend. She transforms into She-Ra and travels to Salineas with Glimmer and Bow to investigate. They discover the underwater kingdom trapped under the control of an evil sorceress who has taken Calypsa's name. Mermista has vanished, and the Horde forces are approaching fast. She-Ra must break the sorceress's magical hold over Salineas and locate Mermista before the Horde arrives to claim the conquered kingdom. The Princess of Power faces a race against time to save both her friend and an entire realm from falling into enemy hands.
