Books like Dark Age by Pierce Brown

Ten years after pioneering a revolutionary change that birthed a new Republic, former leader Darrow becomes an outlaw and wages a rogue war across Mercury. With half his fleet destroyed, he faces overwhelming odds and the question of whether he remains a hero or turns into the very tyrant he opposed. Meanwhile, new figures rise: Lysander au Lune, heir to the old empire, attempts to bridge divisions between the Golds of the Rim and the Core; Virginia au Augustus, Luna’s Sovereign, struggles to protect her democracy and her exiled husband; and Pax au Augustus, abducted by enemy agents, must find salvation through a gray thief, Ephraim. Across the void, Lyria, a Red refugee accused of treason, seeks freedom with unlikely allies. As power shifts, battles are lost and won, the worlds spin toward an uncertain future and the onset of a Dark Age.
