Flight of the Nighthawks question

OK, I am confused, I just finished Exiles Return and the teaser implies
the book picks up in Flight of the Nighthawks, but the blurb on
Amazon.com says:

"In it eventual arch-mage Pug (see Exile's Return, 2005) is much
younger, his vast powers are still forming, and he hasn't yet acquired
the array of family ties that will make him so wonderfully human later
on. Right now he is trying to contend with evil sorcery and win the
tolerance, if not allegiance, of the emperor. Reinforcing him are two
fugitive farm boys, Tad and Zane, and their mentor, Caleb, whose aid
proves invaluable as all three youngsters mature, the farm boys with the
additional help of another mage's daughters."

So, is it in the past, or does it start where Exile's Return left off??

That's Amazon's screw up. It picks up right after Exlie's Return. The
only "younger magician" in it is Magnus.
