Well, you've been warned! :D
This one is for "The Wild Hunt" (though the title of this edition is actually something like "love of convenience")
Image

This is "Daughters of the Grail" (here known as "Magdalina's heiress")
Image

This is "The Marsh King's Daughter" (the title here is "The King's treasure, or to be tempted by passion":confused :)
Image

"The Love Knot" (or to be tempted by loyalty) huh?
Image

And the freakish one!
"The Conquest" (or Long Lost Love)
Image

I don't whose idea was it to put these "ors", they're just lame!

Another one for "The Marsh King's Daughter" (Still "The King's Treasure" here)
Image

The Winter Mantle

Thanks for posting those. Lol at the second cover for Marsh King. How 1920's flapperish she looks :p :)

Those are hilarious! :D

We are strong and not afraid to die

Some I haven't seen either Sintra because they never sent us copies, so thank you so much for posting! The one with the kiss with the heroine wearing a ruff is new to me! I have the others.
I recently put the overseas editions I do have on Youtube, but I didn't post it to the forum. However, if anyone wants a look, here it is.

Could we use one of Sintra's covers to revive our Cheesy Cover Competition?
