Chantal Fernando is the Australian New York Times and USA Today bestselling author behind one of the most binge-able motorcycle-club universes in romance. She's written more than fifty books, and the gritty, fast, high-heat biker romances she's best known for aren't standalone series — they interconnect, with characters and clubs crossing from one series into the next. That's exactly why "where do I start?" trips so many readers up. This guide lays out her reading order: the flagship series first, then how the connected clubs fit together, then everything beyond the bikers.
Start Here: Dragon's Lair (Amazon)
If you're new to Chantal Fernando, begin with Dragon's Lair, the first Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club book. It introduces the club that anchors her entire biker world, and almost everything else she's written in the genre either spins out of it or connects back to it. Read Wind Dragons first and the rest of the universe clicks into place; start anywhere else and you'll be meeting characters mid-story.
Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club — The Flagship
Her signature series and the right entry point: gritty, suspenseful, high-heat biker romance following the bad boys of the Wind Dragons MC and the women who fall for them. Ten installments (seven full novels plus a few shorter novellas woven through), in this reading order:
Wind Dragons MC in order
1. Dragon's Lair (2014)
2. Arrow's Hell (Amazon) (2015)
3. Tracker's End (Amazon) (2015)

The Connected MC Universe
Here's the part most reading-order lists skip. Several of Chantal Fernando's other biker series live in the same world as the Wind Dragons — and one of them is a deliberate crossover. The natural flow, after Wind Dragons MC, is the Knights of Fury and Fast & Fury clubs, then the series where two of her clubs collide.
Knights of Fury
A second club at the heart of her biker world, three books in order: 1. Saint (Amazon), 2. Renegade (Amazon), 3. Temper (Amazon). Sinners, saints and secrets, with the same loyalty-and-found-family pull as the Wind Dragons. Browse the Knights of Fury series page.
Fast & Fury
A linked three-book run set among custom-bike builders, full of romantic suspense: 1. Custom Built (Amazon), 2. Custom Made (Amazon), 3. Custom Love (Amazon). See the Fast & Fury series page.
Knights & Dragons MC — the crossover
This is the one to save for after the others: the Knights of Fury and Wind Dragons clubs come together, with a Wind Dragons "princess" and an ex-cop at the center. Three books: 1. Decker's Dilemma (Amazon), 2. Rhett Redeemed (Amazon), 3. Answering Atlas (Amazon). Because it draws on both clubs, it lands hardest if you've read Wind Dragons MC and Knights of Fury first. See the Knights & Dragons MC series page.
The Cursed Ravens MC
A grittier three-book club series — Ace of Hearts (Amazon), Knuckle Down (Amazon), and Going Rogue (Amazon) — that sits alongside the rest of her biker world. Browse the Cursed Ravens MC series page.
Her Newer MC Series
Fernando has kept the motorcycle club going with newer, even spicier series. These read well on their own once you know her style.
Angels & Devils MC
A Romeo-and-Juliet-flavored club feud across three books: 1. Love Grudge (Amazon), 2. Love Betrayal (Amazon), 3. Love Gamble (Amazon). See the Angels & Devils MC series page.
Serpents of Chaos MC
Her longest of the newer clubs, six books in order: 1. War (Amazon), 2. Haze (Amazon), 3. Lore (Amazon), 4. Skull (Amazon), 5. Ghost (Amazon), 6. Bones (Amazon) — running the gamut from one-night-stand to grumpy/sunshine to single-dad tropes. See the Serpents of Chaos MC series page.
Royal Bastards MC: Western Australia
Worth knowing: Royal Bastards MC is a shared, multi-author universe, and Wild Chance (Amazon) is Fernando's Western Australia chapter within it — an age-gap biker romance. It reads as her entry point into that wider world. See the Royal Bastards MC: Western Australia series page.
Beyond the Bikers: Romantasy and Contemporary
Not everything Fernando writes wears a leather cut. Two threads are worth calling out for readers who want her range.
Fated Love — her romantasy turn
A spicy, enemies-to-lovers, fated-mates fantasy series and a real departure from the clubs — six books in order: 1. Forewarned (Amazon), 2. Foretold (Amazon), 3. Masked Fate (Amazon), 4. Exiled Prince (Amazon), 5. Caged Love (Amazon), 6. Dark Obsession (Amazon). If you came to her through the romantasy boom rather than biker romance, start here. See the Fated Love series page.
The Maybe series and her early contemporaries
Before the bikers, the Maybe contemporary series — beginning with Maybe This Time (Amazon), the book that first put her on the New York Times list — followed by This Time Around (Amazon), Time and Time Again (Amazon), Time Will Tell (Amazon), and Thief (Amazon). Browse the Maybe series page.
Resisting Love — the co-written debut
A detail most lists miss: Fernando's very first books, in the Resisting Love series, were co-written. Chase (Amazon) and Kade (Amazon) were written with Dawn Martens, followed by Ryder (Amazon) and James (Amazon). It's where her career started, even if it's not where new readers should. See the Resisting Love series page.
A Note on Pen Names
Early in her career, Fernando also published a handful of darker titles under the pen name Sienna Lane, including Vendetta (Amazon). If you stumble on that name attached to a similar style, it's the same author.
The Short Version
Start with Dragon's Lair and read Wind Dragons MC in order. If the club world hooks you, branch into Knights of Fury and Fast & Fury, then read Knights & Dragons MC once you've met both clubs. From there, her newer clubs — Angels & Devils, Serpents of Chaos — stand on their own. And if it's fated-mates fantasy you're after instead, jump straight to Forewarned and the Fated Love series. Either way, you can browse her complete catalog on the Chantal Fernando author page.
