Scion of Murgen (He/Him)
"Dark, violent and sensual" is not condemnatory. It's descriptive. And I think doubles as advertising copy for readers who find those qualities appealing.

The Court almost looks a staged portrait or a old school photo. The third is minimalist.
The Wild hunt is the only one with a sense of action and dynamic to it - that was what I liked most about it.

Sacrosanct

That's probably going to be true to some folks, and is unavoidable. But after doing a bit of feedback research in the past, it is probably the best way to go, because several of the creatures from folklore deal with
child abuse, sexual assault, consent violation, and misogyny.

The art for the Fey Court one is pretty cool, but the composition doesn't work really well for the cover. Everything is squished, it's crowded between the edges and the logo that takes a lot of place.
The other two work much better. But as personal preference, I voted Wild Hunt.

So it looks like the votes are overwhelmingly this one (the back cover is on the left)

Is there a reason you went with ‘Sensual’ rather than Sensitive or Sexual?
Sensual is usually means physical gratification particularly sexual and is usually seen as either benign or possibly good. Rather than the sensitive subjects you have described.
The Wild Hunt cover is brilliant by the way!
Sacrosanct

That was just placeholder text. The current version reads:
CONTENT ADVISORY
The original folklore of many of the creatures within this book contains dark, violent, and mature themes that may be uncomfortable for certain readers. Discretion advised.
TheSword
Legend
Good luck with this. It’s a great idea for a source book and I’ll certainly be getting it!
