really doubt that, in my opinion Lea wanted more power and thought it would aid her in her power struggle with Mab. Lea lost and gave way and gave up the knife to Mab, neither realized until it became apparent that it was infected that it was.is pretty much directly contradicted by the book.

isn't, to me, obvious that "that which stalks us all" = Nemesis.well it should be. It's immediately obvious to me you have it backwards tho. The Adversary is specifically called such by the fae(and indeed when talking about others "opposites" they have specifically referenced "their adversary" in the heaven n hell balance instead of An Adversary) just as the courts are tasked with protecting reality their adversary is tasked with breaking it, all of it. It is The End that nobody is safe from.
It's one reasonably-likely hypothesis, but not uniquely-likely.
Maybe the "us all" isn't "everyone" but "faeries" and what's "stalking" them all is the ever-tightening strictures of doing what they must do, being who they must be: beings like Winter-Queen Mab, Winter-Lady Maeve, and the Leanansidhe... they have almost no freedom or free will, because they are so intensely who and what they are...
What even is the Leanansidhe's name? Does anyone know, or remember, or care anymore?
