You are not specifying the namespace. http://tempuri.org/ ;

var xDocument = XDocument.Parse(xml);
XNamespace ns = "http://tempuri.org/";
var authToken = xDocument.Descendants(ns + "authToken").FirstOrDefault();

I don't know the xml where is it come from but it seems that you are communicating with a SOAP service and it could be better to get the data as object based by WCF client.
