| Summary | "Tried for Her Life" by Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte Southworth is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a sequel to "Cruel as the Grave" and follows the harrowing experiences of the main character, Sybil, who is thrust into peril after being abducted. The story delves into themes of love, survival, and justice as she navigates complex relationships with both her captors and those attempting to rescue her. The opening portion of the novel introduces Sybil in a nightmarish scenario, recovering from a faint and realizing she is being transported through dark underground passages by mysterious, masked captors. Overcome with dread and questions about her fate, she soon finds herself in a stunning cavern where she meets a young girl who seems to share her plight as a victim of circumstances. This interaction hints at a tangled web of danger and intrigue, as the girl, who identifies with Sybil's struggles, reveals that she is implicated in a band of thieves, leading to questions about loyalty and survival. Meanwhile, Sybil's husband, Lyon, along with a loyal servant, searches desperately for her, revealing the emotional stakes underpinning the unfolding drama.
