Chapter 15's quite early into it, iirc - there's a bit more action a little later on
However, I do find Phedre to be something of a
Mary Sue. I think I enjoyed and was annoyed by the first trilogy in equal measure!
Back to what the OP wrote - the first trilogy deals with Imriel's adoptive parents, and his real ones, so that backstory might be of use (I'veonly read the first book of the second series, so can't really comment on whether it is neccessary to read the first to enjoy the second)
