But we have a WoJ that says the first attack was not neccesarily sanctioned by her. They took their own initiative.

I am not familiar with that WoJ. Could you please point out where it says they took their own initiative?

I vaguely remember such a WOJ. But then we would have two contradictory WOJ...

I will see if I can find it in a bit.

1) Mab is a well known twister of words. When she is asked who kidnapped Marcone, she replies she does not know. That could be true if she knew the Denarians were responsible for the kidnapping, but not which individual was precisely responsible for subduing and binding Marcone.
2) Alternatively, she could suspect that some of the Denarian are working for the Black Council and not Big Bad Boss, thus "who" took them is up for debate.
3) It is entirely possible that Mab and Uriel are working far closer than suspected here, more than just a common enemy might allow for. One could argue that the entire reason Mab chose Harry was to get the archive involved so that Uriel would be given an opportunity to become involved.
It still doesn't answer how Mab got everything moving before the initial attack, however. Unless the Denarians were using Ways she could time-delay....

The same way Odin was able to work out what the Red Court was going to do with Maggie. God level intellect, information gathering capabilities and a certain amount of precognition. It's not like building an Ivy level containment spell can be built on the fly like Harry's circle to hold the Erl King. And it is quite possible that the pentagram required setting up.
