About Tito
Tito Martínez Barberi is an award-winning author born in México City, where he spent many years doing copywriting and translation work. Tito's experience as a copywriter and translator, added to what Tito himself calls his “hyper-imagination”, inspired and allowed him to write the complex and thought-provoking series The Keeper of the Balance.
The Order of the Ancestors, book three in The Keeper of the Balance, won the 2016 Summer Indie Award for Best Dystopian Book.
Tito is a lover of fantasy and sci-fi literature and movies. Although Tito currently lives in Puebla, Mexico, his mind spends most of its time in Akaladia, writing The Last Bastion, the fourth and final book in The Keeper of the Balance series.

The names of characters and locations in the books are a combination of real words in ancient tongues such as Latin, Sanskrit, old Norse, old Germanic, old Gaulish, Mayan and Nahuatl, among others.
Tito tipped his hat to honor some of his favorite books and films throughout the series. Some of these references are obvious, some aren't so obvious. Can you spot and name these references?
The Intangible World of Khevala and its properties are based on actual theories on Physics, more than myth and legend. Tito is convinced that we will be able to enter the Intangible World . . . perhaps . . . some day.
