The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Blood Rites foreshadowing
EBRIEN:
Just a very tiny detail near the end of the book...minuscule.
When Lara is about to have her way with Lord Raith, she is described as Wintry.
Like I said---Minuscule, but telling.
Anyhow--Have a great weekend!
Cheers and best to all---B
Regenbogen:
Nice find. Do you think she will one day replace Mab or the Winter Lady?
I think she is more suited to be Mab's replacement. The whole Winter Lady virgin thing would not be so nice for Lara.
Lord Kinbote:
I expect a family pattern to be acknowledged in 12 Months. Maggie Sr. is the consort of (marries?) the head of the White Court. Her son Harry is engaged to marry the successor head of the White Court, Lara.
That also suggests a hidden truth. Harry is the Winter Court's White Knight. Did Maggie Sr. also have as of yet unknown status in the Winter Court, or was she otherwise beholden to the Winter Court via Lea like Harry? And is Harry's betrothal Mab's second attempt to use one of her vassals to ally with the White Court? Or maybe used for some more devious machination? Mab quickly deciding to marry Harry off to ally with the White Court makes me think Mab's up to something else or at least some additional else - maybe she needs a second spy/provocateur within the White Court because of suspicions that the White Court may have an agenda adverse to Mab or even the Summer Court. I have no idea or even a WAG but put me down as suspicious, waiting for another shoe or two to drop.

Good question. I mean...if Lara becomes either, who leads the White Court? Thomas? Agree, Queen is a much better fit than Lady. I think Mab recognizes like-minded individuals. Lara is calculating like Mab.

I'm curious how long Lord Raith's Outsider magic immunity continues once Harry digs into the Raith household and library of the arcane. His mind is probably close to gone at this point, but magically, he's probably still immune.
Perhaps Mab is tracing the Outside connection. ??? We shall see.
