“Lucia Ferrant, fifty years old and finally rich enough to stop pretending modesty suits me. Solmara has the port, the exchange, the cheapest charters on the continent, and I intend to own a piece of all three before I am done. I deal in luxury because Solmara's soil makes it cheap and its burghers make it necessary. I will found the press that tells my story before anyone else gets to tell it wrong, and I will run this republic if it will have me. Radiance is not vanity. It is strategy.” — self-portrait, filed at registration
