“Maeve’s an immortal, Harry. One of the least of the immortals, maybe, but immortal all the same. Chop her up if you want to. Burn her. Scatter her ashes to the winds. But it won’t kill her. She’ll be back. Maybe in months, maybe years, but you can’t just kill her. She’s the Winter Lady.”

But does that apply after their mantle has found a new vessel? The mantle is immortal, but the vessel is only as long as then mantle resides with in the vessel. Aurora did die, the mantle left her body and entered the body of Lily. Maeve, the vessel died, the mantle of the Winter Lady moved on to Molly, that is the immortal part.
noblehunter:
I think the implication is that the mantle only moved on because of where Aurora was. If she'd been on the streets of Chicago on Sept 8th, Aurora would have popped up somewhere as more or less the same being. It could be that even if the power had returned to Titania like it's supposed to, Aurora would have "survived."

Harry was only able to kill her permanently because of where she was:
--- Quote ---I frowned. “Huh? I killed the Summer Lady just fine.”
Bob made a frustrated sound. “Yeah, but that was because you were in the right place to do it.”
“How’s that?”
“Mab and Titania created that place specifically to be a killing ground for immortals, a place where balances of power are supposed to change. They’ve got to have a location like that for the important fights—otherwise nothing really gets decided. It’s a waste of everyone’s time and cannon fodder.”

Mira:
However as Harry has pointed out, Bob doesn't know everything.. Maeve and Lily were killed on
Demonreach island, the mantles have moved on. Is this another special place for killing? They are dead, were they not, the mantles would not have moved on.
