The fast of Taanit Esther ends at nightfall on the day before Purim, which is the 13th of Adar in the Hebrew calendar. It concludes just before the evening prayers, typically around sunset. This fast commemorates Esther's preparation for her appeal to King Ahasuerus on behalf of the Jewish people.

How did Esther risk her life?

The three-day fast that Esther decreed for herself and all the other Jews (Esther 4:16) were days of prayer and repentance, just like every other Jewish fast throughout history. Also, Esther could have remained safe in her opulent palace as the Jews were slaughtered (Esther 4:13), but instead she risked her life to intercede for them (Esther 4:16), which was an act of faith in God.See also:More about Esther
