Darkness, also known as World at War, is a series of six fantasy novels by Harry Turtledove.
Though a fantasy, its general history, geography, and combatants are analogs of World War II, called the "Derlavai War" in this universe.[1] Many of its characters are also the equivalents of historical people. Magic and other fantastic beasts, like dragons, are also stand-ins for World War II technology. Important battles in the series are also based on famous World War II battles. For example, the Battle of Sulingen is an analog to the Battle of Stalingrad.[2][3]
