Our adventure begins in Pixie Village with Ninfea, the Queen of the Pixies, sharing a magical tale of events that had recently taken place. Meanwhile, students from each of Magix’s three colleges must return to where Darkar’s fortress once stood in order to destroy any of the dark lord’s remaining shadow monsters, so they can be free of the whole ordeal. But what happens when the Trix decide the only way to regain their old lives is to erase everyone’s memories of their past crimes? And when Belizarius blackmails Headmistress Griffin into working for him, can Helia and the Winx save the day? Join the Winx Club and their friends as they harness the magical power of friendship to keep Magix safe from evil.
