Alaundo is right. The image posted above on the Paizo site is incorrect. |

Well I may as well chime in. I'm also in agreement. Whilst I quite liked the covers in the Fighters series, which fit reasonably well, I don't think the new Sembia covers do the series justice at all. The original covers portrayed the flavor and feeling of the setting perfectly, IMO.
Nevertheless, judge not a tome by it's cover, for the Sembia series is still an fantastic read 
Unlike classic rock records where one should always judge by the cover (hey, hairy guys trying to look mean, here one finds guitars. Strange paintings; we are here met by progressive pompous rock. What, this guy smiles! Put it right back). Yes, yes, I know; moderators coming. Look busy. |

I am a big fan of Terese Nielsen's work, and I loved the original covers as well, with one exception. I never really liked the depiction of Erevis Cale on the cover of Shadow's Witness. Her interior work on Cale was great, and her covers for the Cale trilogy were gorgeous, but something about that one cover just never felt right to me. |

Saw those a while back--don't really like the new covers over the old ones.
I'm inclined to agree with Rino. I loved the older covers for the "Sembia" series. They had a unique way of conveying both the 'spirit' and 'feel' of the Land of Merchants that I've not seen elsewhere.

Many thanks for scooping these, Xysma. I'll update the product pages on the site today rather than wait for a site update.
The Neversfall image is the older image and has been superceeded by the one I put up in the site update yesterday, I believe. |

It also appears there is an alternate cover for Neversfall |
