Publisher's blurb: One of the more powerful Merchant Houses of Diamond, Kelder is mostly known for the trade in rare art forms from Steel and the moons, principally Uplift designs that are very popular with some of the higher echelons of human society. Occupying the beautiful Kelder Estate, with its own eco-sphere, to many Kelder is a model of how Merchant Houses operate. The truth, however, is somewhat darker.
