Devil's Pawn Duet Books in Order

The Devil’s Pawn duet takes the secret society atmosphere of the IVI world and narrows it onto one brutal bargain between Jericho St. James and Isabelle Bishop. Across Devil’s Pawn and Devil’s Redemption, Natasha Knight explores what happens when revenge, family duty, and unexpected tenderness collide.

Jericho is wealthy, feared, and deeply embedded in the power structures that run The Society behind the scenes. The Bishops stole something from him that money can never replace, and he has waited years to make them pay. When the time comes, he does not go after their fortune. He goes after their daughter.

In Devil’s Pawn, Isabelle is ripped from her life and told she will marry a man who openly hates her family. She becomes his pawn, his bride, and a living reminder of the debt he is determined to collect. Jericho makes no secret of the fact that he plans to use her to destroy the people who raised her. The complication is his young daughter, a vulnerable point he would kill to protect, and the way Isabelle responds to her.

The first book leans into forced marriage, uneven power, and a heroine trying to survive without losing herself. Jericho is a classic Knight antihero, capable of cruelty yet fiercely protective once he decides someone is his.

Devil’s Redemption picks up as the emotional lines blur. Isabelle has begun to see the man behind the monster, just as Jericho’s plan against the Bishops nears its brutal peak. Betrayals cut deep, and the question becomes whether either of them can walk away from what has been set in motion without destroying themselves.

This duet is rich with IVI flavor, from its secretive meetings to its coded rules, but you can read it without having started in The Society Trilogy. Expect intense chemistry, a complex father daughter relationship, and a heroine who refuses to simply be a symbol of someone else’s vengeance.

For readers who like arranged marriage stories where the hero truly is the villain at the outset, Devil’s Pawn offers that darkness with the promise of a hard fought, emotionally satisfying end.
