I shuddered. "No, thank you." I finally lowered my shields. The Leanansidhe beamed at me. "I saw you in Mab's tower," I said. Something dark flickered through her emerald eyes, and she turned her face slightly away from me.
"Indeed," she said quietly. "You saw what it means for my queen to heal an affliction."
"What affliction?"
"A madness had beset me," she whispered. "Robbed me of myself. Treacherous gifts . . ." She shook her head. "I can think on it no more, lest it make me vulnerable once again. Suffice to say that I am much better now." She stroked a fingertip over an icy white streak in her hair. "The strength of my queen prevailed, and my mind is mine own."

Sounded to me like she had been in contact with a Denarian coin, or am I missing something?

Bianca presented her with a small black case. Lea opened it, and a slow tremble ran down her body, made her flame-red hair shift and glisten. My godmother closed it again and said, “A princely gift. Happily, as is the custom of my people, I have brought a matter of equal worth, to exchange with you.”
Fits in size!

Putting it together, Lea could have been the source of the Hellfire at the battle of Arctis Tor, the previous assault that Harry didn't witness...
