Torturing someone for a decade would in my book be an overreaction to ANYTHING. I'm not sure what to think about it as a threat. The "...I will merely appear in front of you"-bit tickles my sense of humour, so I'm not in the right state of mind to take the following threat completely seriously.
If Maria was enslaved in the DragonsStates, and they are in the centre of those now, would leaving Swan there be likely to put her in the same position she put her mother in? The added start kinda makes me wish there was a matching end to address Swan's immediate situation, but on the other hand you have a really good last line standing right there.
some rambling
