How to define a cover page (so that pagination start accoringly)?

[blueray453]

My markdown looks like:

= Salah

:doctype: book
:stylesheet: styles.css
:media: print
:optimize: printer
:!show-link-uri:

[.cover]
== Legends

[width="50%"]
|===
|Al-Adab Al-Mufrad = AAM
|Bulugh al-Maram = BM
|Hisn al-Muslim = HM
|Jami` at-Tirmidhi = JT
|Mishkat al-Masabih = MAM
|Sahih al-Bukhari = SAB
|Sahih Muslim = SM
|Sunan Abi Dawud = SD
|Sunan an-Nasa'i = SAN
|Sunan Ibn Majah = SIM
|===

[width="50%"]
|===
|Nafl Prayer = (N)
|Tahajjud = (T)
|===

[.pagebreak]
== What to say after the Takbir
....................

I want Legends to be the cover page (before the [.pagebreak]). How can I make this the cover page so that page numbers start accordingly (after Legends there will be a blank page then the page number will start from 1).
