From the Addison's Tales musical storyworld comes the harrowing adventure of Penelope as the curious cat is whisked underground in search of the last remaining Core - the fallen star that might just bring light to the dying Caverns of the gnomes. Leading her on the search is Boris Bones, a gnome with a dubious past who hopes Penelope can decipher the riddle that will save his homeland from eternal darkness.
