When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain by Nghi Vo is free on
Tor.com's ebook club (until May 28th)
This is the sequel to
The Empress of Salt and Fortune, which I read and liked.
I believe this is a standalone, so you don't have to read that one first. It features the same main character, who is a chronicler of past events.

The cleric Chih finds themself and their companions at the mercy of a band of fierce tigers who ache with hunger. To stay alive until the mammoths can save them, Chih must unwind the intricate, layered story of the tiger and her scholar lover—a woman of courage, intelligence, and beauty—and discover how truth can survive becoming history.
