SOLVED. Dystopian/ Fantasy. Male protagonist freedom fighter with long hair. He used to be a prominent member of the guard/ military and was renowned for his skill but he is now famous among the common people under another name.

I don't fully remember but I probably read this book between 2020-2022. I know there is a female protagonist as well and I think the view shifts between the two as the story goes on. She is currently in the guard/military but establishes contact with him somehow and eventually comes to his side. I believe that there are other cities that they eventually end up going to. This story is set in a dystopian future America, far enough that old names of things we know today are relics to the characters. If I remember correctly there is advanced technology.

Just found it on my own! I was thinking of Legend by Marie Lu.
