Question

A word there is of plural number; foe to ease and tranquil slumber.

Any other word you take, and add an "s" will plural make.

But if you add an "s" to this, so strange the metamorphosis:

Plural is now plural no more, and sweet what bitter was before.

Good answers all, but not quite:

Lortek - can't add s to your word.

CJ and danimal - adding s removes plural, but your word is not a foe to ease or tranquil slumber

itachi-san - adding s removes plural, and [in most cases] that would be sweet.

But the resulting word should be sweet.

I'll try a couple here.

Posses and Possess

You could argue that posses fits the first clue (I doubt it, but...) and posses are bitter (filled with hate) while possess is a word that's sweet (yay! I got something).

Cares; Caress

Cares might make things difficult (foe to ease). Cares can be bitter, but everyone would think a caress is sweet!
