How far can Mab go to seek revenge on a mortal?

And I don't see how it suits Nemfected Maeve to try to kill her off before Nemfected Tessa / Rosanna / Namshiel (or some combination of the three) got a chance to subvert Nic's plan and seize her for their own interests. Mab outright said the enemy could not be allowed to gain the child archive's power.

I don't know that Mab would be foolish enough to send a bunch of useless Mooks after the friggin Archive though.
That's kinda like sending a bunch of Ants to fight a Foot.

I believe the Archive is a signatory to the Unseelie Accords, which means that at some point, that entity made a deal with Mab.

You are right of course. All of the serious injuries came from the ghoul (who was Ace's agent) or harry himself. Whatever injuries the chlorofiend inflicted were very minor and almost certainly immaterial.
dspringer1:
Separate question.
Murphy took a chain saw to the chlorofiend and it hurt Aurora -- clearly she felt a lot of pain from the (iron assisted) attack. However, I do not recall the chlorofiend suddenly being able to target Murphy freely after this point.
Why would attacking an Aurora possessed plant creature not constitute involving herself in faerie? I had always assumed that attacking a queen freed them up to counter-attack. But this example proves me wrong (if I am remembering it correctly at least).
I am not sure myself, so I think I am missing something.

I would say it's because she wasn't attacking the Queen. She was attacking something the Queen was animating. Further she didn't know it was the Queen.
Lastly, it's entirely possible that Aurora's Nemfection just didn't let her think along those lines.
