Orson Scott Card's Ender In Exile by Aaron Johnston

In the aftermath of a galaxy‑shaping war, a brilliant but haunted young commander drifts between colonies, reluctantly assumes political responsibility, and grapples with the moral weight of his actions as he navigates rivalries, personal relationships, and the practical task of protecting and finding a safe home for the last surviving Formic queen while searching for purpose and redemption.
