by Stephen L. Kent

What if an Assassin wrote a holy book about hypocrisy?
Requiem For Ancient Footsteps is the haunting sequel to Covered With Montana, a lyrical meditation on love, memory, and the timeless bond between two souls. Beneath its prose lies a story of adoration and selflessness—of human fear and devotion—woven through moments that defy the human follies of time and distance. As the characters journey into The Vastness, they confront the dissolution of yesterday and the irrelevance of tomorrow, discovering that true connection lives not in chronology, but in presence. A stirring reflection on legacy and presence, this novel invites readers into sacred spaces where love endures, time dissolves, and every step echoes beyond the veil of endings.
“This is one of the most beautiful imaginings of the unknown and unknowable, sci-fi that honors the peoples, languages, and lands that have always been and will always be.”
Heather Lee
“Requiem for Ancient Footsteps is a beautifully written book that navigates the complexities of life. I found myself deeply intrigued by the depth of the main character. A lifetime of experiences shaped the reality in which he lived and impacted innumerable people as a result. The themes woven throughout the book will linger in your mind long after you've turned the final page. Requiem for Ancient Footsteps is a must-read in 2026! (Amazon Reviews)”

“I thoroughly enjoyed Requiem for Ancient Footsteps. The storyline is captivating and leaves the reader anxious to get on to the next chapter. Mr. Kent makes clear that family and purpose are to be valued more than the pursuit of life's many distractions if you want to enter "the vastness" content and with few regrets when that time comes. This is a well-written, good read that will make you think. (Amazon Reviews)”
Terry Gallagher
“Great book. Holds your attention. (Amazon Reviews)”

“Steve has woven a complex but simple, violent but comforting, and time-specific but timeless tale of a character whose pursuit of love is unbeginning and unending. This second volume (following “Covered with Montana’) defies genre-classification as it takes the reader through the ‘vastness’ in a way that is at all times auto-biographical, historical, fantasy, romance, and even science fiction. I highly recommend both books. (Facebook post)”

A Book About Legacy
Legacy is the third movement of The Guidant Path trilogy—a clear, steady invitation into the life you build in your later decades, not by striving, but by presence. This book turns from achievement to transmission, from proving yourself to becoming someone others can trust. Through narrative, reflection, and lived practice, it shows how legacy is shaped in ordinary days: in the way you listen, the way you repair, the way you bless the life you’ve lived and offer its wisdom without urgency or performance. Legacy is a guide for adults who are ready to stand in the quiet authority of being an Elderling and live a life that teaches by example.
