Every part of Book One opens with a piece of interior art. Four parts, four plates — each one created in black and white first, the way it prints inside the paperback, before it exists anywhere in color.
Part One: Maingat (Careful)
This one opens Part One. She's the first thing you see, before you know why she matters.
Part Two: Mabait (Good)
This one opens Part Two. Those eyes belong to the Kapre — and that's not a threat, that's him keeping watch.
Part Three: Matapang (Brave)
And this one opens Part Three. The Tikbalang — walking a path that isn't as straight as it looks.
Part Four: Wakas (The End)
And this one opens Part Four. The lights are ahead of her now, not behind.
Four pieces of art. Four parts of the book.
