Started Volume 4

OK, one more volume of the Albigenses to go. I started volume 4 and I am about 1/4 of the way through. I am so glad that it has less than 300 pages. It has started off with a recounting of the night of Sir Paladour's marriage to Isabelle and Genevieve being escorted to Toulouse by Sir Amirald. I am interested to see if this will have a happy ending, because it seems unlikely for some characters at this point. But what would a romance be without a happy ending? And the author describes this story as a romance, not a tragedy.
