Plot.[]
Heroes: Godsend takes place in the United Kingdom in 2011, one year after the Sullivan Incident[2], Petrelli Manors have been placed around the world to aid refugees who have no home or families, and Riley Stenson finds himself outside one of these Manors with no memory of his life. He embarks on a search to discover the truth behind his identity and why he ended up outside Petrelli Manor with no memories whatsoever.

Original Idea.[]
Heroes: Godsend was originally called Heroes Renatus when Adam Sklar had begun writing a spin-off story for Heroes, this was planned as a fan webseries that would have been uploaded to YouTube as a 13-part standalone series. This idea was initially posted to DeviantArt as a concept poster[1], inquiring as to whether it would be a project that people would like. When it became apparant that it would be far too difficult to produce the series, Adam Sklar decided to write Godsend as a novel instead. In 2014, the new Heroes series was surprisingly named Heroes Reborn. Renatus (Or Renautus as it is spelt in Heroes Reborn) means Reborn in Latin. It was even stranger when the first episode introduced the new company, Renautus. Shaking this off as one huge coincidence, Adam Sklar renamed the project to Heroes: Godsend, a much more appropriate title for the story that the novel surrounds.
