my first thought when I heard it was a steam punk series was that he went back to Alera.

He had made a comment about it becoming very steampunky 1000 years fromn where we left off

going to say the stones where on the island and new persons used them to build light house but beat to it

AA Ms. Duck had this theory as well, and it was well fleshed out. I agree that the last piece of information sealed the deal for me that Mab fixed LC and it alsoe makes perfect sense that Lea was never far away from Harry in the NN

and harry has noted that he had been in the cage  a few times recently

I have an idea for a series of books that may be really cool, but I do not have the time, nor am I sure the ability to develop the series in the manner i want. I feel i could describe the scenes and the characters but to develop the individual dialogue and make the characters truly unique and engaging is what worries me. How can I collaborate or sell my idea to someone while protecting myself as well. 

to add to Duck's theory, just whose suggstion was it for harry to bind Susan to ensure safety so they could have sex, produce Maggie and make Hqarry winter knight.

to rectify the idea that the queens and ladies and mothers stem from one source, i would postulate that it does not matter what physical form they take so much as the power they use. My thought is that the original "mother nature" was bound, to balance herself out and be able to meet her needs she developed six seperate power levels with physical and emotional manifestations. That is why lily is now the spitting image of Maeve, the power subverts the physical form to what it wants. That is also why it was so disasterous for Lily to go adeshit, she turned not just against her nature but against herself.
