In the end, he will die. Most of his army is also gone in the books, IIRC.

Without Melisander killing his brother, we don't know what would've happened in the fight.

He also lost seriously at Blackwater.

I think Stannis will defeat the Boltons in the book, but Winter could swallow the whole of the north and he fall against the Others and the army of the dead.

I never got the sense the show "got" Stannis and just want him out of the way.  I don't think they've mentioned Azor Ahai and what it takes to repeat the legend.

We shall see...someday when the book is done.
