They certainly blew that one.
No Jack, and the Keep doesn't look anything like what's in the novel.
Someone in the marketing department ought to have his/her poetic license revoked.
My favorite cover is (what I believe to be) the original paper back cover. And even that could have been done better -- the "crosses" should look like what's in the novel, and the stones in the doorway of the Keep should be shaped differently. (If a real stone building was constructed like that, it would collapse almost immediately.) Aside from that, it's still my favorite cover for that novel.
