Okay, sorry.
--- Quote ---she already planned on confrontation with Nemesis, "thought I could handle that what stalks us all". I'm not even sure what the Atheme has to do with gainsaying this at all. However, since she knew whose knife it was, it's entirely possible she took the knife to open nemesis up to HER thinking true love would be her protection.
She knew who the blade belonged to, and we have WOJ itself that who the blade belonged to was what was important about it.
Theres nothing to buy.

I think that was a bit more complicated. I've wondered if Lea was infested before she got the Knife, because of the way she acted when we first meet her. I am more convinced now that she was merely power hungry, which left an opening for Nemeses. This is why this particular gift was selected to be presented to her.

There's a WoJ that Nemesis didn't show up on stage until Grave Peril. I think both the Gatekeeper and Lily said the enemy was behind it. If all three statements are true, then Denton wasn't infected but was a tool of Nemesis.

Via Cowl, maybe.. I believe it was he who gave Denton the wolf belts. I think in the soul gaze Harry caught a glimpse of Denton kneeling and taking them from a robed figure.

What Lily says about Nemesis in Cold Days:
"A disease. A parasite. A poison... You must have seen the contagion spreading. It has been before your eyes for years. It is a kind of spiritual malady. A mental plague. An infection slowly spreading across the earth. It changes that which ought not change. It destroys a father's love for his family by twisting it into maniacal ambition. It distorts and corrupts the good intentions of agents of mortal law into violence and death. It erodes the sensible fear that keeps a weakly talented sorcerer from reaching out for more power, no matter how terrible the cost. Each of them tainted by the contagion. It destroyed them. I saw what it did to her [Aurora]. I didn't know what was happening to my friend, but I saw it changing her. Twisting her day by day. I loved Aurora like a sister. But in the end, even I could see what she had become."
What Maeve said, with the now-obvious lie about Lea's infection:
"Remember your godmother, bound in ice at Arctis Tor. That was when my mother trapped her and spread the contagion into her. Think of the creatures of Faerie Wyld who have been behaving irregularly and unpredicably. Think of the strange conduct of some of the Houses of the White Court, changing their diets after centuries of stasis. Think of the Fomor, active and aggressive again for the first time in millennia. None of these things is coincidence. It spreads, a force that will upend the world and all of us with it."
SO, the question is, how much is it Beside spreading disinformation to make the threat seem overwhelming and unstoppable, and how much of it is Jim Butcher pulling back the curtain and showing us what's been going on for all these casefiles?
