E.C. Land Books in Order

Where to Start: Your First Ride into the MC Universe

Entering E.C. Land’s expansive romance universe can feel like steering a motorcycle through a maze. With dozens of titles spanning multiple charters and spin-off series, having a roadmap is essential. The author’s books are highly interconnected, sharing characters, locations, and overlapping timelines. While you can read individual series on their own, following the correct path ensures you avoid spoilers and catch every character cameo.

For the absolute best starting point, we recommend beginning with the book that started it all: Horse’s Bride (2019). This novel kicks off the flagship Devil’s Riot MC (Franklin Charter). It establishes the club’s rules, dynamics, hierarchy, and gritty atmosphere, laying the foundation for all subsequent spin-offs.

Alternatively, you can start with the highly popular prequel charter series by reading Stoney’s Property (2020), which launches the Devil’s Riot MC: Originals. Either path works beautifully, but starting with the main Franklin Charter first provides the most organic introduction to this world.

The Intertwined Reading Order & Timeline Caveats

Because E.C. Land's series run parallel to one another, several books overlap chronologically. If you are a completionist who wants to experience the events exactly as they happen in real-time, keep these parallel occurrences in mind:

• Stoney’s Property (Originals Book 1) and Cyclone of Chaos (Royal Bastards MC Elizabeth City Book 2) happen at the same time.
• Whip’s Breath (Originals Book 14) and K-9’s Fight (Franklin Charter Book 6) occur simultaneously.
• Mercy’s Angel (Satan's Keepers MC Book 4) and Heated Caress (De Luca Crime Family Book 3) take place in the same timeframe.
• Viking and War from the Toxic Warriors MC series share the same chronological timeframe.

For readers who want to follow the strict internal timeline of the Originals, the chronological order swaps a few publication positions to keep the narrative flow seamless. For instance, Carrying Blaze's Mark and Protecting Blaze's Mark should be read directly after Blaze's Mark, even though their publication dates came later.
