Melissa Wincroft

Melissa Wincroft was a member of a family that had owned and operated a paper company; she was also the mellischwuler or queen bee of a hive of mellifers that resided in the attics of her family home.

The hive targeted Serena Dunbrook, Camilla Gotleib and Adalind Schade, who were lawyers working for the firm involved in the legal action that forced the paper company into bankruptcy. The hive killed Dunbrook and Gotleib, but while it was attacking Schade, Nick Burkhardt killed Wincroft and the hive appeared to die.
