Thorn the Bounty Hunter in The Crystal Countess

When Thorn takes a job for the Lear Trade Family to track down the Crystal Countess, a jewel so rare and valuable it could very well be the single-most expensive object in the Free Lands, he gets far more than he bargained for. Being forced to go undercover with the spoiled youngest daughter of the family is bad enough, but when the deadly assassin 'Gentleman' Garrett Folke comes out of retirement for one last kill things get even worse. It seems like everyone wants a piece of this priceless treasure, and they don't care who they have to kill to get it. The trail leads from the waters of the Old Foss to the heights of Mount Abora, where Thorn discovers a horrifying secret lurking in the windswept rocks. The twists come fast and hard in this non-stop thrill ride.
