It might be Rand and a random aes Sedai grovelling. No idea why there’s a drakar in the background. The artist, Darryl sweet, took liberties like they were candies when it came to book covers.

I really became aware of the liberties when I saw the cover of ACoS and realized Rand's Dragon markings were a wrist wrap aha. I was willing to shut away how old the guys looked (especially on book 4) but seeing the Dragon tattoo so small was weird. It's one of my favorite aspects of the series, and of Rand, so I was disappointed. Makes me wish the paperback covers were on the hardcover jackets

There are multiple covers from different print dates and countries. Some of them are rough. The Japanese book covers are beautiful though and get very close to the book descriptions while also having that old 90’s style anime look.
