About
Hi, i’m Amaani Noor — the writer behind Lowe & Gray, , a fantasy mystery series I’ve been working on for the past seven years.When I’m not writing, I’m probably replaying one of my favourite cosy games or creating something in one way or another. I’ve always had a soft spot for “cute” things and often express this through fashion, stationery, teacups, and the small everyday details that make life feel a little more magical.I enjoy building worlds, drawing inspiration from art, stories, and the little things that catch my attention. My aim is to bring a little magic into our world.
You may see this little fella around my pages. This is Theo – the familiar of my main character Aurora Gray. He serves as a mascot for the Lowe and Gray universe.Chosen rather than owned, Familiars are mystical creatures bound to a Sorcerer’s resonance. They act as emotional anchors and magical companions, their wellbeing tied directly to the life and stability of their mage.

Lowe and Gray
About the Series
Lowe and Gray is a character-driven fantasy mystery series blending murder investigations and hidden magic. I began developing the series over seven years ago, building a world shaped by ancient magical traditions, powerful founding families, and the politics of a hidden society.The story follows Aurora Gray and Jensen Lowe, two unlikely allies drawn into a dangerous conflict after the mysterious death of Aurora’s brother. What begins as a search for answers soon becomes something far larger: a confrontation with dark forces, buried secrets, and the fragile balance of power within the magical world.At its heart, Lowe & Gray explores themes of grief, trust, identity, legacy, and the cost of power. The series combines intricate world-building including unique magic systems, historical factions, and an original island nation, with character-driven storytelling, dry humour, and high emotional stakes.
The Story
Aurora Gray never believed in magic — until her brother's death exposed a world built on it. The official report called it a seizure. The truth is far darker: he was murdered by the infamous dark sorcerer Malignant.Thrust into a hidden war of magic, Aurora reluctantly joins forces with Jensen Lowe, a war-scarred vigilante determined to stop Malignant before he uncovers the Codex of Shadows, a legendary relic said to rewrite life, death, and truth itselfAs their investigation leads them through hidden cities, cursed battlefields, and long-buried secrets, Aurora discovers her brother had secrets of his own that now place her directly in Malignant’s path.To uncover the truth behind her brother's death, Aurora will have to decide how far she's willing to go and what she's willing to lose.Lowe and Gray: saving the world one catastrophe at a time.
In a world where truth can be rewritten, survival means knowing who to trust.

WHAT INSPIRED THE BOOK?
Honestly, just about everything. I wanted to create a fantasy world influenced by the Islamic and Middle Eastern stories, aesthetics, and cultural influences I rarely saw reflected in the fantasy novels I grew up reading. This ended up shaping a lot of the worldbuilding, lore and influences for Almara – the Sorcerer home country in Lowe and Gray.
I've always been fascinated by the concept of magic and try find little pockets of it in everyday life, so it just seemed natural for me to write a novel with supernatural elements.
