Fan Creation:Godsend

(Non-canon) Originally titled Heroes: Renatus in 2011, Heroes: Godsend is a fan spin-off Novel by Adam Sklar that serves as an interquel between Heroes and Heroes Reborn. Godsend spans ten chapters as the protagonist, The Impossible Son, searches for the truth behind his origins as helpful strangers embark on his journey with him. Whilst it starts out with fresh characters, a big twist with the protagonist allows the story to intertwine with some recognisable faces. This novel was released on the 24th January 2016 and can be read on Wattpad [1] or FanFiction [2].

Plot.

Heroes: Godsend takes place in the United Kingdom in 2011, one year after the Sullivan Incident, 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.

Tie-Ins.

As an original story, Godsend surrounds a whole new set of characters who are struggling to find a place in this Brave New World, but as the story progresses, a couple of familiar characters from Heroes find their way into the story and help the Protagonist to take down the Preservation of Eden and the elusive Godsend Device, the crucial object from which the novel finds its name.

Original Idea.

Heroes: Godsend was originally called Heroes Renatus when Adam Sklar had begun writing a spin-off story for Heroes, originally, this was planned as a fan webseries that would have been uploaded to YouTube as a 13-part standalone series. This idea was originally posted to DeviantArt as a concept poster, 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.
