Jason Ralph扮演纽约布鲁克林的大学生Quentin Coldwater,聪明、沉默寡言、意志消沉,但有着令人惊讶的魅力。他在同龄人当中不太受欢迎,美貌的Julia同样看不起他——尽管他从孩提时代开始就无可救药地爱上了她。他的抑郁和叛逆是一种危险的信号,但他酷爱一套描述魔法世界费罗里(Fillory)的书籍。这原本是一套儿童书,他长大成人之后依然觉得它们有吸引力。他被神秘的布雷克比尔斯(Brakebills)大学招募为「魔法教育系」(Magical Pedagogy)新生。踏入这所学校的大门之后,他意识到魔法不仅非常真实,而且他自己就是一个很有天赋的魔法师。与此同时,他亲眼见证了魔法黑暗而可怕的一面。
