Seed of Expansion

When stars die, she brings life—whether the universe wants it or not.  

Renn Vale never asked to become a mother of monsters. Now she's giving birth to stars. 

After being claimed and bred by a sentient warship, Renn's transformation is only beginning. Her firstborn, Talax, emerges into a cosmos torn between creation and destruction—with Renn caught in the crossfire of an ancient war between Starseeders and Void Harvesters. 

Aboard the massive Starseeder Collective mothership, Renn discovers others like her—humans transformed into cosmic vessels, their bodies altered to carry the seeds of stellar rebirth. The Collective's leader, the nearly divine Nyxa, demands Renn submit to another implantation under their control. 

But as Renn's connection to Talax grows across the void, she's plagued by disturbing revelations. The war between Starseeders and Harvesters isn't as simple as creation versus consumption. Both factions have used humans as pawns in their cosmic game. 

When a Harvester defector reveals forbidden truths about what Starseeders truly become after multiple birthings, Renn must decide her own path. Will she surrender to the Collective's breeding program? Join the enigmatic Harvesters who promise freedom from compulsory reproduction? Or forge a third path with her original ship—the only entity that has shown genuine care for her beyond her reproductive value? 

As her second offspring develops within her—its alien form capable of oviposition that could spawn hundreds of stellar entities—Renn's choices will reshape not just her future, but the fate of dying stars across the galaxy. 

Seed of Expansion is a dark sci-fi erotic novel featuring explicit breeding, tentacles, oviposition, body transformation, and cosmic horror elements. The second book in The Starseeder Cycle follows one woman's evolution from unwilling vessel to Mother of Worlds.
