What happens to Winston Duarte in Tiamat's Wrath?

Without spoiling specific plot points, Tiamat's Wrath explores the consequences of High Consul Winston Duarte's transformation and the instability of Laconian rule. The novel also features a major death among the core Rocinante crew and shifts the series toward its cosmic-scale conclusion.
